They had to start from the group stage, in group G they competed with Real Madrid, Victoria Pilsen and CSKA Moscow. Despite the defeat in the first match from Real Madrid (3:0), the Romans did not lose their heads and continued to fight in the following matches. The Wolves defeated Victoria (5:0), and also scored a maximum of two games against CSKA (3:0, 1:2).

Before the confrontation Roma – Porto, the hosts will need to seriously think about their playing form. “Wolves” occupy only the seventh position in the Italian championship, in addition, the capital’s team recently lost devastatingly to Fiorentina (7:1) in the Italian Cup, which was a real shock for the fans, because few people expected such a result. Porto The Portuguese were in a better situation than their future rivals, primarily due to their position in the group, Porto’s rivals were: Schalke, Galatasaray, Lokomotiv Moscow. This group looked fairly equal, so each team could cling to the exit, and each lost point could cost a place in the playoffs. We had to start with a trip to Germany, a draw against Schalke (1:1) in the first round – these are the only lost points for Porto at the group stage. The fights against Lokomotiv (1:3, 4:1), Galatasaray (1:0, 2:3), as well as the return match against Schalke (3:1) ended in an exclusively victorious result for the “blue-whites”, which allowed them take first place in the group.
