Roma claimed their first victory of this season's UEFA Champions League campaign with a commanding 4-0 demolition of Slovan Bratislava, the club led by former Ivory Coast and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Touré.

The Italian side were ruthless throughout, leaving Slovan without a foothold at any stage of the contest. The four-goal margin reflected Roma's total dominance on the night.

For Slovan Bratislava, managed by the legendary Yaya Touré, the result represents a sobering moment in what is a challenging Champions League debut at this level. Touré's side were unable to find an answer to Roma's intensity and organised pressing game.

Roma had entered the match under pressure after a difficult start to their European campaign, making this result all the more significant for the club and their supporters. A first win on the continental stage lifts the mood considerably ahead of the remaining group fixtures.
