Malen’s Brace Powers Roma to 4-0 Win Over Lecce
After a convincing 4-0 win over Fiorentina in the season opener last week, Roma was heavily favored in today’s fixture against Lecce. Eusebio Di Francesco’s Giallorossi barely avoided relegation last season, finishing in 17th place, only four points above the drop. Still, as long-time supporters are well aware, the Lecces of the world have spoiled […]
Lecce vs. Roma: Lineups & Game Thread
While it may be too soon for champagne wishes and Scudetto dreams, last week’s 4-0 rout of Fiorentina provided a glimpse of Roma at its peak. Thanks to standout performances from Paulo Dybala (three assists) and Donyell Malen (three goals), not to mention a suffocating defensive effort from the backline, the Giallorossi looked like instant […]
Roma Can’t Afford to Slip Against Lecce
The first match of the season went just about as well as one could hope for if you’re a Romanista. The Giallorossi ran Fiorentina out of the Stadio Olimpico in style, thanks to a hat trick from Donyell Malen and excellent performances from the entire side. That excellence translated to the Giallorossi ending the first […]
Probable Formation: Lecce vs Roma
With the mercato winding down and new faces arriving daily, once the season kicks into full gear, we should see plenty of variability in Roma’s starting XI as Gian Piero Gasperini juggles Serie A and Champions League action. However, it’ll take a bit of time to integrate some of those players who are just arriving […]

Midfield Shake Up: De Roon Arrives in Surprise Move; El Aynaoui Heads to Leipzig
The mercato closes in under 72 hours, and Roma’s activity has intensified markedly. The left-winger has yet to arrive, but Tony D’Amico continues working to improve Roma’s roster ahead of the gong on September 1st. In just the past 24 hours, the Giallorossi have brought in two new players and sent one packing. Early yesterday, […]
Roma Set to Add Leonardo Balerdi to Bolster Defense
Defense was seldom an issue for Roma last season and certainly didn’t cause any headaches in last week’s 4-0 victory over Fiorentina, but that hasn’t stopped the club from seeking upgrades. While much of the summer’s transfer attention has focused on improving the club’s attack, Roma has invested equally in its defense, signing Nahuel Molina […]
Ziółkowski Set for Monza Loan Move
Last summer, Jan Ziółkowski was brought in as a surprise move at the end of the mercato. Ziolkowski arrived for €6.6 million and was seen as a developmental piece for the future. However, his time in Rome—at least for the time being—is coming to an end. After making 23 appearances (9 starts) in all competitions […]
Roma Draws PSG, Real Madrid in Champions League Return
It’s been eight long years since we’ve heard The Champions bellowing from every corner of the Stadio Olimpico, but thanks to last season’s dramatic third-place finish, Roma is back among Europe’s elite. While we’re still a couple of weeks away from the club’s official return to the Champions League, we finally know which seven clubs […]
Robinio Vaz Set for Roma Exit as Hull City Move Takes Shape
Thanks to the heroics of Paulo Dybala and Donyell Malen, who led the Giallorossi to a 4-0 win over the Viola on Monday, the discourse around the club has shifted from what the attack was still missing to whether they’re legitimate title contenders. There will be plenty of time to continue that discussion in the […]
Transfer Updates: Oosterwolde Injuries, Competing for Kessie, Fofana Still in Fashion
After one week of play, Roma finds themselves in an unusual position: first place. Thanks to their 4-0 dismantling of Fiorentina at the Olimpico on Monday evening, Gian Piero Gasperini’s group tops the Serie A table. The chances of the capital club running the table in a 2003 Arsenal-style assault are slim, but the decisions […]
Four Key Figures From Roma’s 4-0 Victory Over the Viola
Roma dominated Fiorentina in yesterday’s 4-0 win at the Olimpico, but the goals only tell part of the story. Here are four other key figures from the Giallorossi’s first win of the season. 3 As in the number of goals that Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala combined for on Monday at the Olimpico. We all […]
Three Things We Learned from Roma’s 4-0 Thrashing of Fiorentina
How was that for a mood-booster at the start of the season? Roma raced to the top of the Serie A standings after matchday one with a convincing victory over Fiorentina on Monday night. A hat trick from Donyell Malen, with each goal assisted by Paulo Dybala, set Roma on their way to all three […]
Across the Romaverse, #236: Malen & Dybala Star as Roma Rolls Fiorentina
After a summer of endless transfer rumors and drawn-out negotiations, we finally got a look at the nearly complete 2026-27 incarnation of Roma. And boy, was it something to behold. We’ll try to temper our expectations by reminding ourselves that Fiorentina fought relegation for much of last season and has a plethora of new players […]
Sinners & Saints: Roma 4, Fiorentina 0
While one never knows what to expect from the first match of the season, Roma’s opening salvo against Fiorentina was practically perfect. Facing one of the buzziest teams from the offseason, the Giallorossi could just as easily have been upset by Fabio Grosso’s new-look Viola as they could’ve squeaked out an ugly one-nil win. However, […]
Roma 4, Fiorentina 0: Dybala and Malen Put Serie A on Notice
Now, that’s the way to start a new season! With Roma working the phones all weekend, sewing up a loan for Fenerbahçe’s Jayden Oosterwolde and continuing to track down Gian Piero Gasperini’s elusive left-winger, the club would’ve been forgiven for coming out a bit distracted in today’s season opener against Fiorentina. And that’s before even […]
Roma vs. Fiorentina: Lineups & Game Thread
The time has finally come. After months of wringing our hands over the Crysencio Summervilles and Mason Greenwoods of the world, we can finally focus on what matters: the matches! While Serie A broke the seal over the weekend, Roma supporters had to wait an extra 48 hours for their first taste of the new-look […]
Probable Formation: Roma vs Fiorentina
With no major sales to speak of and Zeki Çelik the only player departing so far who played major minutes for Roma down the stretch last season, it wouldn’t be surprising to see many familiar faces in Gian Piero Gasperini’s starting XI on Monday against Fiorentina at the Olimpico. However, with Tony D’Amico having made […]

Roma vs. Fiorentina: New Season, New Attack, Same Ambitions
It’s been a summer of fits and starts for Roma as they return to the Champions League. Romanisti worldwide spent months on end wondering whether the Giallorossi would manage to truly reinforce Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad to prepare for the return to CL after an eight-year drought. Tomorrow, we finally get to find out what […]
Jayden Oosterwolde Is the Latest Twist in Roma’s Transfer Saga
Late August is typically the most interesting point of silly season—not the most exciting, mind you, but the proximity to the new season makes every rumor and update feel more consequential. By now, all of Roma’s top targets are long gone, and those who have replaced them—in this instance, Malick Fofana and/or Alessio Cacciamani—are intriguing […]

The Great Roma Questionnaire Extraordinaire: 2026-2027 Season Preview Edition
Thanks to the newly expanded FIFA World Cup and another protracted summer full of rumors, retractions, and hearsay, we’d almost forgotten that all this hoopla was building toward something—the start of a new Serie A campaign! By most accounts, the more robust and sprawling World Cup was a smashing success, and while silly season has […]
Official: Roma Sign Rodrigo Mora (Finally!)
It took far longer than any of us would have expected a week ago, but Rodrigo Mora is finally a Roma player. Despite the hemming and hawing from Porto president Andres Villas-Boas regarding the structure of the transfer, Mora touched down in Rome yesterday and was greeted by over 600 Romanisti before finalizing his deal […]
Roma Makes Another Push for Alessio Cacciamani
With the impending addition of Rodrigo Mora, Roma’s already impressive collection of U-23s is bursting at the seams. The 19-year-old midfielder will add a dash of class and excitement to Roma’s midfield. Whether he’s lining up behind the strikers or playing in a slightly wider position, Mora has the chance to make a real impact […]
