Roma face a demanding test on Wednesday as reigning European champions Barcelona make the trip to the Italian capital.
The hosts began their UEFA Women's Champions League league-phase campaign with a goalless draw in Belgium, while Barcelona demonstrated their attacking power in a dominant win against Paris FC.
With the visitors in superb form, Roma will need to find something special if they are to avoid defeat this week.

UEFA Women's Champions League
Roma Women and Barcelona Women have met on three occasions in competitive fixtures since 2020. Barcelona won all three games, including a commanding 4:0 win in Rome last year.
Roma Women team overview
Roma return to Stadio Tre Fontane after opening their Women's Champions League campaign with a goalless draw against OH Leuven.
Gianpiero Piovani's side had an excellent opportunity to secure all three points, but Marta Pandini missed a stoppage-time penalty.
The Italian champions bounced back to winning form with a 3:1 domestic success against Sassuolo last weekend.
Competing in the Women’s Champions League for the fifth successive season, Roma struggled to make an impact in last year’s competition. The Serie A side lost four and won only one of their six matches, finishing 14th out of 18 teams and missing the qualification playoffs.
Gianpiero Piovani’s side now face a daunting task against opponents who have dominated their previous encounters. Roma conceded ten goals while scoring only once across three successive defeats against the Catalan giants.
Piovani has some injury issues to deal with this week. Swiss forward Alayah Pilgrim remains doubtful after suffering a muscular injury before the Juventus game, while goalkeeper Olivie Lukasova is also expected to miss out.
Martina Piemonte should lead the attack, with captain Manuela Giugliano providing the creative threat from midfield.

Barcelona Women team overview
Barcelona travel to Rome after extending their perfect start to the season with a comfortable 2:0 victory against Logrono United on Saturday.
Mayssa Baha opened the scoring before Patri Guijarro secured the points in the second half. Pere Romeu's side have now won all six competitive fixtures this season, scoring at least twice in every game.
The European champions began their Champions League title defence with an impressive 5:2 comeback victory against Paris FC. Kerolin, Clara Serrajordi, Caroline Graham Hansen and Ewa Pajor were among the scorers.
Outside of that contest, Barcelona have also proved strong at the back, keeping clean sheets in four of their five domestic victories.
Pere Romeu is unable to call on several players for the trip to Italy. Laia Aleixandri, Renee van Asten, Kika Nazareth and Vicky Lopez are expected to remain unavailable.
Aicha Camara and Carla Julia are also absent while representing Spain at the Under-20 World Cup.

Prediction
Roma usually struggle when stepping up to face the European champions, and I expect that pattern to continue this week.
I expect Barcelona to win with at least three goals, and to keep a clean sheet.
While the first selection offers little in value, BTTS - No looks a solid option this week.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS - No
- Roma Women failed to score in 4 of their last 6 matches (Champions League)
- Barcelona Women kept clean sheets in 4 of their last 6 matches
- Barcelona Women kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 3 matches against Roma
Main prediction Roma W - Barcelona W
Both Teams to Score - NO
