A Champions League to forget for Deportivo La Coruña, who were hammered 0-5 by Monaco in their last match and bow out of Europe with the humiliating record of being the first club to fail to score in all six matches of the league stage. Monaco needed a win to be sure of reaching the knock out stage, and Chevantón put them on the way to victory after ex Barcelona striker Saviola put him through midway through the first half. Capdevila had a penalty appeal turned down and Pandiani headed straight at Roma as Depor pushed for the equaliser, but they were hit by two more goals before the break, Givet hooking the ball back over the defence after they failed to clear a corner, and Saviola adding the third after leaving Pablo Amo for dead.

It could have been four before the break had Bernardi found the target with a long chip, but Pandiani came close to pulling one back after the restart when Roma dived low to get a hand to his shot. A few minutes later though Maicón beat reserve keeper Munúa again as the static defence allowed him to run through and turn in Chevantón's corner, and substitute Adebayor got a fifth a quarter of an hour from the end, again after good work by Chevantón.

Still the local fans got behind their side to urge them on, and Luque (who had been rested at the start together with other key players) almost got the goal Depor so badly wanted to at least open their account, Roma saving his late free kick, but Adebayor missed a sitter at the other end soon afterwards. Once again Depor had been hammered by the French side who put eight past them in one game last season, and it was an unfitting end for the likes of Fran and Mauro Silva (who didn't even come on) who were probably making their last appearances in a European tie. At least they can now concentrate on improving their position in the league.
