Jose Mourinho’s side returned to the scene of their most significant humiliation of recent years, the Aspmyra Stadion in Bodo, Norway, where they were beaten 6-1 by Bodo/Glimt in the UEFA Europa Conference League earlier this season. The second fixture between the two had ended in a 2-2 draw in Rome, and, as it turned out, the Giallorossi would endure another difficult outing against a familiar foe.

However, Roma broke the deadlock in the 43rd…
