It could have been a great debut for the new Roma Ivan Juric in the Europa League. The Giallorossi, however, are left with a bitter taste. In the first match of the competition, Athletic Bilbao found the equalizer in the final minutes, in the 85th minute, after the home team’s initial lead with a header from Dovbyk in the 35th minute.

At the Olimpico, the Giallorossi could have found their second consecutive victory, after the one obtained on Sunday against Udinese despite the sudden departure of Daniele De Rossi (for whose exemption the fans expressed their dissent at the beginning of the match). The Spaniards managed to rebalance the match with Paredes five minutes from the ninetieth minute, capable of exploiting a defensive inattention on a set piece.
Lina Souloukou’s resignation: everything that doesn’t add up in the farewell of the Roma manager
by Marco Juric
“There were moments of great football, in the second half however we suffered a bit without conceding many scrums, but without danger. A shame – said Juric – We should have been more cynical and with more quality, we also paid for the mistake by Soulé but there are many positive things.” On the equalizer: “We were two against one both at the far post and in the center. The positions were right, but you have to take it. They are small details, it’s a shame because the boys played an excellent game.” Finally, regarding Dybala’s substitution in the 45th minute, he explained: “He felt a bit of discomfort and we didn’t want to risk anything. We’ll see tomorrow, there’s no point in talking about it now.”
