Kick-off on 06.03.25 22:00.

In the UEFA Europa League Round of 16, the first leg between Roma and Athletic will take place at Stadio Olimpico. The hosts eliminated Porto in the previous round (1-1, 3-2). The visitors shared the top spot with Lazio in the group stage, allowing them to skip the Round of 32. The two teams have already played in Italy in September, when Artem Dovbyk opened the scoring in the first half, but the Wolves lost their advantage in the final minutes. In August 2019, they played a friendly that ended in a 2-2 draw, with Lorenzo Pellegrini equalizing in stoppage time. Pellegrini remains a key player for the Giallorossi.

Media service MEGOGO will stream the first leg of Roma vs. Athletic live online on March 6, 2025.

During the group stage, the hosts played against Dynamo Kyiv (1-0), Braga (3-0), and Eintracht Frankfurt (2-0). Roma has reached the Round of 16 seventeen times, exiting the competition in eight cases. Over the last eleven years, the Giallorossi have made it to this stage in four seasons. In the 2014/15, 2016/17, and 2019/20 campaigns, they were eliminated by Fiorentina (1-1, 0-3), Lyon (2-4, 2-1), and Sevilla (0-2). However, in the last four Europa League seasons, the Italian side has reached the quarterfinals three times.

Athletic won away matches against Ludogorets (2-1) and Fenerbahçe (2-0) in the group stage but lost to Beşiktaş (1-4). The Basques have reached the Round of 16 seven times, progressing further only in three instances. In the 1976/77 UEFA Cup, they defeated Milan (4-1, 1-3); in the 2011/12 Europa League, they knocked out Manchester United (3-2, 2-1); and in 2015/16, they overcame Valencia (1-0, 1-2).
