History on Manchester United´s side, Roma eye another shutout – Champions League in Opta numbers

The quarter-final line-up for the Champions League will be completed this week, with Tuesday’s ties both finely balanced.

Manchester United had David de Gea to thank for a battling 0-0 draw in Sevilla, but will be hoping to spend more time on the front foot at Old Trafford.

Roma have the benefit of an away goal from the first leg against Shakhtar Donetsk, but will need to score at least once to progress after losing 2-1.

Here we look at some of the best Opta numbers ahead of the two matches.
