Ahead of the match, the official website of Roma presented some statistics about the game, making a remarkable reference to the Armenian international.
“Heading for 50 nationalities… Whenever he makes his debut, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will become the first Armenian to play a game for Roma – with Armenia becoming the 50th different country to have had a player represent the Giallorossi,” the club said.
