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 who need time to gel. However, what we witnessed on Monday at the Stadio Olimpico was the kind of performance that gets Romanisti dreaming.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side came
out flying in a dominant 90’ performance highlighted by a Donyell Malen goal, assisted by a hat trick of assists from Paulo Dybala. But Roma’s performance was more than just the two stars showing out. And on this episode of ATR, we discuss the win and much more, including:
- Dybala is still world class
- Malen Mania
- Lulli and Mora’s debuts
- Roma’s improved depth
- Cristante quietly impresses
- Koné bosses the midfield
- Transfer market updates
