UEFA issues Rome warning Monday 31 March, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rome could lose the right to host the 2009 Champions League Final if there are violent scenes at tomorrow’s Roma-Manchester United clash.

The last two times the sides have met at the Stadio Olimpico, there have been violent clashes outside the stadium and there were also injuries before Roma’s last 16 game against Real Madrid.

Rome was awarded the Final in a meeting of UEFA’s Executive Committee last Friday.

Certain groups in Rome have a reputation for causing trouble and UEFA could move 2009’s showpiece event if they feel the supporters won’t be safe in the Eternal City.

“If tomorrow at Roma-Manchester United there are incidents outside the stadium as happened against Real Madrid, where people were stabbed, we will have to reconsider the decision to assign the Final to Rome,” UEFA spokesman William Gaillard is quoted by the ANSA news agency.

Such a decision would also be a disheartening sign as Italy campaign to replace Ukraine and Poland as the host nation for Euro 2012.

but at the same time i prey to god every thing will pass out peace fully.

2009 is the year of Juventus, we'll be in Rome.

looking forward to welcome the old lady to cl as i really believe milan will only make the cl easier for their opponent instead.

[Forza_Roma]

If Fiorentina and Milan continue to win and Juve slip up, Juve may not even get CL action next season.

[D-Kin]

We'll be fine, we've got a fairly easy run-in.

[LaVecchiaSignora]

It will be real good to see juve back in the CL everyone i think is looking forward to it

[sinoy1]

aye its great to see them back.Headlines will mock them a bit but they've got a good mentality.A winning mentality something we desperately need.

2009...in the Olimpico...I want liverpool in the final.You heard it hear first (no copyright infringement from Totti ).

[Forza_Roma]

If an Italian team other then Roma of course, is in the CL final....Totti will go mental!!!

I don't think Totti could sit in the Olimpico and witness Juve in the final, playing on his turf.

.I want liverpool in the final.You heard it hear first (no copyright infringement from Totti ).

awhh sinoy not the scoucers again..., its already a pain in the arse hearing them blabing "we won it 5x"

[acitalianman13]

lets hope and italian team reaches final of 2009 we are going to have great teams in it lets see if milan can get there

[dukeofdavinci]

milan???crap milan out.they are no where near to their former glory in europe nor back in the peninsula.

im putting my money on juve and fiorentina next season besides my team roma for italian teams that might to do well in europe.

look at viola in the uefa cup they have a clear and very good chance of reaching the final.

[Forza_Roma]

Never count Milan out...they ave deep pockets and if they bring in Ronaldinho and Sheva...then they will be considered favourites as every other top team.

[dukeofdavinci]

let them bring that dinho, and we italians can teach him some "italian"

they are no where near cl next season im still gunning for juve and viola to make the cut.

2010 maybe but 09' its the uefa cup for them.

[azzurri]

Juve will get a tough group because of missing the CL for the past 2 seasons. Ill be happy if we make it out of the group stage.
