Roma fan said 'even I could have scored that' - so they asked him to prove it on the pitch

You’re not a real football fan if you haven’t at one point claimed that you could have scored the same goal a professional scored in a competitive match.

“Even I could have scored that”, is a phrase commonly uttered when a player converts a chance that looks relatively easy from either the stands or the comfort of an armchair.

Football lovers make that claim in the knowledge that they’ll never have to prove whether it is indeed accurate.

But back in 2019, AS Roma decided to put one of their fans in the position to be proven wrong.

The supporter, Marco Nicolai, left a comment on a Cengiz Under highlight reel posted to Roma’s official Facebook page, in which he stated that he could have scored one of the goals.

So, Roma asked Marco to come to the Stadio Olimpico and put his money where his mouth is, giving him three opportunities to recreate Under’s finish against Parma.

There were a number of fans inside the ground watching and sadly for the lad, things didn’t exactly go his way.

Check out what happened here…

Imagine saying, ‘Even I could have scored that goal’ and getting brought to the Olimpico to prove it!

But that’s exactly what happened to Marco, thanks to @HyundaiEurope!
