Turns out that Daniele De Rossi’s scorching own-goal wasn’t the only obscene aspect of Roma’s 4-1 defeat against Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday night.

Thankfully, fans watching the match on Iranian state television were spared the exposure to the Italian club’s overtly graphic club crest.

Granted, it’s a fairly grim scene to have on your badge, but the Romulus and Remus myth of Rome’s foundation dates back several thousand years and Roma have proudly sported it upon their bosom for almost 100 of them.

Oh nipples, we’re in trouble now.
