Roma have had an extraordinary offensive output this season: they’ve already scored 31 goals in just 11 Serie A games, the best performance in the Giallorossi’s history at this point in the season.
It’s also a record for Gasperini: his most prolific team on matchday 11 was Atalanta in 2019-20 with 30 goals.
Roma are now averaging 2.82 goals per game. Their driving force is Donyell Malen, who has scored eight times.
Roma, when they get past their opponents this season, want to win big. In Serie A, they’ve scored at least three goals against Udinese (5), Fiorentina (4), Lecce (4), Cagliari (3), Napoli (3, drawing), and Sassuolo (3).
As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, in the top five leagues, only Bayern Munich (3.22), Leipzig (3), and Barcelona (4) have done better than Gasperini’s team (2.82 goals).
All the other European big clubs are behind the Giallorossi: from PSG (2.2 goals per game) to Real Madrid (2.58). Roma’s performance is extraordinary, with two key factors standing out: Malen’s goals (8) and the ability of almost every player to beat opposing goalkeepers (12 different ones in the league).
