Liverpool have fond memories of Rome

Following their crushing 5-2 victory at Anfield, Liverpool fans are confident of progressing in Rome, as they return to the ground where they defeated Roma on penalties following a 1-1 draw in normal time to win their fourth European crown.

After that match, the 'Reds' didn't return to the Italian capital until 2001, when they did so in both the Champions League and the UEFA Cup.

On February 15 2001, a Michael Owen brace handed Liverpool a 2-0 win at the Olimpico in the last-16 stage of the Europea League and whilst they claimed some sort of revenge the following week, Damiano Tommasi's red card put paid to their hopes of turning the tie around.

The same year, but the following season, the Premier League side returned to Rome, this time in the Group Stage of the Champions League, claiming a goalless draw  on that occasion as the hosts once again failed to find the net against Liverpool on home turf.
