Tired of video games and Netflix yet? Probably not, but if you’re looking to compliment your TV viewing experience with something crafty, AS Roma’s Twitter team has just the thing: free coloring pages featuring Marshmello, Snoop Dogg, Lil Nas X, A$AP Rocky and Beyonce.
The Serie A season runs the risk of not finishing if more matches are postponed because of the coronavirus outbreak, Inter Milan's chief executive Giuseppe Marotta said on Sunday. Inter's match at Juventus, which was to have been played later on Sunday, was one of five which were postponed by Serie A on Saturday.
In what will prove a controversial move, Barcelona looks likely to sign Leganes forward Martin Braithwaite. After season-ending injuries to both Ousmane Dembélé and Luis Suarez, the Catalan side finds itself sorely lacking in forward depth.
We’re almost a third of the way through the 2019-20 European club season, giving us an ample enough sample size to analyze this year’s current statistics in a somewhat meaningful way. There’s one giant caveat to it all and that’s Lionel Messi’s restricted start to the campaign due to a calf strain followed by an abductor muscle injury. He’s only started three of Barcelona’s nine league games thus far, so he's yet to dominate every statistical category.
When Germany and Italy lineup in international play, you stop what you’re doing and take notice — even if the players on show are in their 40s, 50s and 60s. On Monday, a team of Azzurri Legends — with a starting XI comprised entirely of ’82 and ’06 World Cup-winners — played against a team of Germany All-Stars in Fürth.
Former Roma captain Daniele De Rossi has landed in Buenos Aires, Argentina to complete his medical ahead of a move to Boca Juniors.
The 18-year Roma veteran was released following the 2018-19 season, but not being ready to retire, De Rossi decided to look to play elsewhere. He appeared for the capital club 616 times, second only to Roma's other legendary gladiator Francesco Totti, who retired after the 2016-17 season, with 785.
It’s difficult to feel all that great about the direction AS Roma is heading under American president James Pallotta, who admitted that last season was a “complete disaster.” Coupled with that has been Francesco Totti stepping down as club director while lamenting, “It was not my fault… Today is like dying. It would have been better to die,” and the ugly departure of fellow club stalwart Daniele De Rossi, who’s now reportedly set to retire at the age of 35.
This summer, AS Roma will use its global popularity and influence to aid in the search for missing children. The club announced that it's partnered with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and will be displaying the photos and information of missing children alongside transfer announcement videos.
Roma defeated Serie A champion-elect Juventus 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday to keep its hopes of a spot in next season’s Champions League alive. Juventus has already secured an eighth straight Scudetto, but the Old Lady is now winless in its last three matches.
Following last season’s run to the Champions League semifinals, it’s been a quintessential Roma response to potential success this campaign: The club has gone on tilt, including a 1-7 defeat to Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia, a heartbreaking exit to Porto in the UCL Round of 16 and a disappointing current standing of fifth in Serie A, all of which led to the firing of manager Eusebio Di Francesco and the exit of sporting director Monchi.
