Head-to-Head: AS Roma vs Real Madrid

AS Roma vs Real Madrid carries a strong European imbalance. Real Madrid won the Champions League meetings played between 2016 and 2018, including 2–0 victories in both legs of the 2016 round of 16 and a 3–0 group-stage win in Madrid. Roma’s interest is clear: can home advantage and a different competitive setting interrupt a sequence that has consistently favoured the Spanish side?

Stats for this game

Matchup AS Roma VS Real Madrid

Real Madrid’s competitive edge

The 2016 round of 16 set the tone. Real Madrid won 2–0 at AS Roma on 17 February and repeated that score at the Santiago Bernabéu on 8 March. In the 2018 group stage, the same hierarchy appeared again: a 3–0 Madrid victory on 19 September was followed by a 2–0 success for the Spanish club in Rome on 27 November. Across those competitive ties, Roma did not find a result to shift the balance.

What Roma must change

The head-to-head history also includes a 2–1 Real Madrid win in the 2018 International Champions Cup, but that friendly is supporting context rather than the main evidence. The meaningful question for any future meeting is whether Roma can make home surroundings count against an opponent whose direct record has been emphatic in both cities. A closer contest would challenge the established pattern; another Madrid success would reinforce it without needing a larger claim.
