Roma have drawn Porto for the Champions League play-offs, to be played on August 18 and 25.
The primary danger for the Giallorossi were Manchester City, who ended up facing Steaua Bucharest instead.
However, the Portuguese were the second least-favourite pick for the Italians, so reactions will be mixed in the capital.
The winners of the play-offs will then be drawn for the tournament's group stage on August 26.
