Roma’s start to the season has been overwhelming, with the Giallorossi demonstrating their increasing assimilation of the tactics and playing styles imposed by Coach Gasperini, achieving four wins against Fiorentina, Lecce, Atalanta, and Torino and only one draw against Inter in the first five league games.
In all of these matches, the Giallorossi scored at least two goals. Added to the final five games of last season, Gasperini’s team has now scored at least two goals in ten consecutive matches.
This is an all-time record in the club’s history. This demonstrates how the former Atalanta coach is transforming the team in his own image. It’s not just goals, though.
The last time the Giallorossi hadn’t lost a single one of their first five games of the season was over a decade ago. It was the 2014/15 season, and Rudi Garcia was on the Roma bench.
In that case, however, Totti and his teammates won them all. Furthermore, the Roman club also remained undefeated in their Champions League debut thanks to a draw against Fenerbahçe.
In Italy, between the league and cup competitions, they are the only team not to have lost a single match. A record they share in Europe with Liverpool, Brentford, Freiburg, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Paris FC, Monaco, and another team owned by the Friedkins, Everton.
