The day has come... the moment of truth for Roma. I can't wait for the match to start and cheer for our Roman gladiators!!!  Forza ragazzi

Here is the Starting Eleven formation by AS Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti:

ROMA (4-2-3-1): Doni; Cicinho, Cassetti, Christian Panucci, John Riise; Alberto Aquilani, Daniele De Rossi; Taddei, Julio Baptista, Max Tonetto; Mirko  Vucinic. 

Come on Gladiators!  Forza Roma, let's conquer this 3 points! 

Hey, hey, hey, GOOOAALLLL In the 17th minute, the Olimpico Stadium explodes of joy with the opening goal of AS Roma defender Christian Panucci!!! An assist by Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi  to Panucci using his already "trademark" of heading a goal from the right to the bottom right corner blasting CLUJ goalkeeper. I love it!!! Yes, yes, yes...
AS ROMA 1 - 0 CLUJ

In the 47th minute, AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti is forced to make a substitution because Panucci is injured. Oh no.... not right now.

In the second half, let me tell you guys, what a clash! A stone shattering the dream of the Roman gladiator to keep the lead. 

In the 49th minute, CFR Cluj Emmanuel Culio blasted AS Roma goalkeeper Doni with a left footed shot from the left side of the box directly to the bottom right corner.  Now, I have a headache!
AS Roma 1 - 2 CFR CLUJ

In the 52nd minute, AS Roma coach Luciano Spalletti tries the "TOTTI card."  Second substitution.
John Riise out, Francesco Totti in

Well, I am not jumping all over the place for this substitution because Totti is not fully recovered. I don't want him to worsen his knee furthermore.  Oh well... let's see how it goes.

Is not that the Roman gladiators did not try to win the match. Yet, something went wrong.  Point is that the fans started to whistle the players! 

In the 55th minute, Julio Baptista sends an assist to forward Mirko Vucinic shooting from outside the box but is blocked!!!!! 

Wow, unbelievable.   What a bad moment for Roma. I cannot believe it either. Roma, la Magica Roma losing????  Roma losing at home with a new comer team....  A bad day for Roma... losing on Sunday in Napoli for the Serie A and losing today for the Champions League.... what else can I say???  FORZA ROMA time to stand up because the show must go on. Don't you think?
