AS Roma began their UEFA Europa League 2025-26 campaign with a valuable away victory, defeating OGC Nice 2-1 at the Allianz Riviera on 24 September 2025. The Italian Serie A side showed the experience and quality that comes from competing at European level season after season, coming from behind to win in the south of France and claim three points — just as significant as results earned by sides like Fenerbahce — that would prove extremely significant as their league phase campaign developed. For Nice, the defeat was a frustrating start to their own European adventure, with the home supporters having dared to dream after their side took the lead.
The result was particularly impressive given that Nice had taken the lead and had the home advantage and crowd support firmly behind them. Roma‘s ability to absorb that pressure, reorganise, and then find the goals they needed to win the match spoke volumes about the mentality and quality running through Ivan Juric’s squad.
Nice Take the Lead Before Roma Hit Back
Nice made the perfect start, taking the lead in front of their home supporters and giving themselves the platform to try to hold on against a Roma side with considerable European experience and quality. However, Roma’s response was impressive. Rather than being rattled by conceding first, the Giallorossi maintained their composure, continued to play their football, and gradually imposed themselves on a match that they ultimately controlled for the latter stages.
The two Roma goals that turned the match around came at crucial moments and showed the class and clinical finishing that makes Serie A’s best sides so effective in European competition. By the time the final whistle sounded, Roma had thoroughly deserved their three points and sent a message to their Europa League rivals that they were a genuine contender for the knockout rounds.
