Even Batigol couldn’t land Roma European silverware

No surprise in seeing AS Roma in this list; the Giallorossi have been chokers in not only European competitions but also in the Serie A as well. After their legendary title win in 2001 brought about by the goals of Argentine goal scoring machine Gabriel Batistuta, Roma have finished runners up a record eight times in the Serie A without winning the title.

Roma have won the domestic league only three times, whereas Juventus have claimed the same 31 times!

They would play a European Cup and a UEFA Cup final each, though. The Champions League final in 1983-84 provided much heartache for the Eternal City side as they saw Liverpool beat them in a penalty-shootout in a match that was played in their own Stadium – the Stadio Olimpico.

Local rivals Inter Milan would use its European pedigree to deny Roma a first title in the UEFA Cup in the 1990-91 final as the Nerazzurri won the two-legged match 2-1 on aggregate.

Roma’s only European title would come in the 1960-61 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup as Birmingham City were beaten 2-0 at the Olimpico to complete a 4-2 aggregate victory.
