Sun May 18 19:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Roma and Milan Clash in High-Stakes Europa League Decider

**Rome, Italy** – AS Roma and AC Milan are set to face off in a crucial Serie A match on Sunday, May 18th at 8:45 PM CET at the Stadio Olimpico. With both teams vying for a coveted spot in European competitions next season, the game promises to be a tense and strategic encounter.

Roma, currently sitting in sixth place with 63 points, will look to solidify their position and maintain their advantage over rivals. Coach Claudio Ranieri is expected to deploy a dynamic 3-5-2 formation, relying on the creativity of Matías Soulé in the absence of the injured Paulo Dybala. Ranieri emphasized the importance of the match, stating in a pre-match press conference, “It’s important, we want to get there [to Europe]. I think about where we took the team, the sacrifices the boys made, the desire, the determination, the fans. For all this, it is super important.”

Milan, fresh off a disappointing Coppa Italia final defeat, will be eager to refocus on their league campaign. The Rossoneri are currently in a Europa League qualifying spot, but with the race still tight, every point is vital. Coach Conceição aims to restore solidity and precision to his team’s performance. Leão and Pulisic remain key figures in the attacking line, with Jović or Abraham potentially leading the attack in a 3-4-3 formation.

The match will be officiated by referee Marco Piccinini, with Ciro Carbone and Stefano Del Giovane as assistants. VAR will be handled by Paolo Silvio Mazzoleni and Federico Dionisi.

The game will be broadcast live in Italy on DAZN.
