Matias Soulé believes ‘it could be a magical night’ for Roma as they host Real Madrid in the Champions League, and is glad to line up alongside Paulo Dybala.

It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 20.00 UK time (21.00 CEST).

The Giallorossi qualified for the Champions League for the first time in seven years and this is their first home fixture, having earned a 1-1 draw away to Turkish team Fenerbahce in the opening league game.

Soulé dreaming of Roma success

> “It is a special match, a great game to be involved in and we hope to do well,” Soulé told Amazon Prime Video Italia.

Donyell Malen starts in attack with Dybala and Soulé, sending Lorenzo Pellegrini and Rodrigo Mora to the bench.

> “I have been teammates with Dybala for three years now, we spend a lot of time together, and I’ve known him ever since I was in Turin at Juventus.

> “With every day that goes by, we feel more confident. Playing with him and the other Argentines here is special for me.”

Roma have lost their last four competitive meetings with Real Madrid, but are unbeaten so far this season in all tournaments.

> “We know how good Real Madrid are and what they represent, especially in the Champions League, but there is enthusiasm and the desire to do well in these games.

> “It could be a magical night.”
