Before the 2000s, the Bride of Italy advanced to the Round of 16 only twice. This happened in the 1974/75 and 1999/00 tournaments when the team was eliminated by Ajax (1-0, 1-2) and Celta Vigo (1-0, 0-4), respectively. In other cases, the Zebras progressed past Shakhtar Donetsk (3-0, 0-1), Standard Liege (1-0, 1-0), Chemnitzer (1-0, 2-1), Sigma Olomouc (2-1, 5-0), Tenerife (3-0, 1-2), and Admira (2-1, 3-1).

In recent history, the Bianconeri have consistently performed well in the Champions League, which is why they only reached the Round of 16 in the Europa League in the 2009/10 and 2013/14 seasons. In the first case, the Black and Whites were defeated by Fulham (3-1, 1-4), while in the second case, they overcame Fiorentina (1-1, 1-0). Watch the clash between Freiburg and Juventus online.
