AS Roma are still well positioned to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League despite a 6-1 spanking at Barcelona Tuesday night.
The Giallorossi just need a win against BATE Borisov at the Olimpico in two weeks' time to be sure of moving ahead to the knock-out stage.
That is because Bayer Leverkusen cannot qualify even if they beat a visiting Barca on December 9, since their head-to-head against the Romans is not in their favour.
Owner James Pallotta told executives he was unhappy with the result and coach Rudi Garcia is understood to be under closer scrutiny although he has not been given any ultimatum.
