AI summary

Roma completed their pre-match preparations at Fenerbahçe's stadium on Wednesday, with Gasperini deliberately staging the session in the cauldron rather than seeking shelter elsewhere. The manager wanted his squad to acclimatise to the atmosphere and pitch conditions ahead of Thursday's Champions League opener, a competition Roma are returning to after years away.

The visitors will be led by experienced European campaigners, though they face a stern test against a Fenerbahçe side featuring former Roma target Mason Greenwood and Romelu Lukaku.
