AS Roma facts and figures


Facts and figures regarding AS Roma, who host Shakhtar Donetsk in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Wednesday:



* Roma have never won the European Cup, with one final defeat by Liverpool in 1984 their best showing.



* Last season's Serie A runners-up have a positive record in the Champions League despite their lack of success, winning 29, drawing 19 and losing 24 of their encounters.



* Claudio Ranieri's outfit can either be superb or very average and ageing captain Francesco Totti is not the player he once was after a series of injuries.



* Striker Adriano is recovering from a dislocated shoulder and broken arm and Chilean midfielder David Pizarro is not fully fit after a knee problem.



* Debt-burdened Roma, who are in the process of being sold, probably to an American consortium, made no signings in January given their cash-strapped status.
