In the last ten years of Champions League football, teams from England left their mark on the continent. They made significant progress and were good enough to eliminate Italian sides on 18 occasions from a total of 30 clashes.
In this sequence, the Italians held the upperhand on six occasions only and the remaining six ties finished in a stalemate.
In our statistics, when each English or Italian side gained the same number of points from the group phase qualifiers, these clashes are considered as drawn outcomes.
The latest results involving Anglo-Italian encounters, played last month, continued to boost the English teams in this head-to-head list. Champions League holders Manchester United eliminated Serie A leaders Inter, Chelsea had the better of Juventus and Arsenal ousted Roma on penalties after a 1-1 score over both legs.
