Mile Svilar is actually getting better as the season winds to a close Roma's #99 turned in another MOTM performance yesterday But who else earned a halo from Sunday's victory Finding new ways to describe Roma’s performance over the past five months has become increasingly frustrating With most of those 19 wins and draws following the same script—low-scoring affairs characterized by timely scoring and world-class goalkeeping—crafting fresh narratives has proven challenging we're not the only ones confounded by Claudio Ranieri's scorching-hot Roma side Thanks to yesterday's 1-0 win over Fiorentina Roma's unbeaten streak now stands at an incredible 19 matches the Giallorossi have won 10 of their last 12 games including three straight one-nil victories Given the almost non-existent margin for error one might say that Roma is walking a knife's edge whether they fall behind early or simply aren't catching the breaks Despite Moise Kean testing the Roma defense throughout the first half thanks to Roma's formidable backline and another stellar turn from Mile Svilar in goal Thanks to Shomurodov's quick thinking and his skillfully flicked header that found Artem Dovbyk at the far post, along with a draw between Bologna and Juventus the capital club is now tied with Juve for fourth place and Lazio for Serie A's fourth and final Champions League spot Considering that development and Roma's relatively error-free football yesterday we'll stow away the pitchforks for today's rendition of Sinners & Saints Whether it was stoning Kean three times in ten minutes including an incredible run-out save where the Viola forward was practically unmarked or his customary unflinching command of the 18-yard box Svilar pulled Roma’s feet from the fire for the umpteenth time this season Meilleur gardien du monde, MONSIEUR Mile Svilar pic.twitter.com/h8yAHpwjaQ Unless he steps out of the goal and scores a last-second header from a set-piece to lead Roma into the Champions League I don't think it's fair to expect much more from Svilar this season we'll split this halo between Ranieri's two starting strikers With the attack struggling for most of the first half combining to score the game's only goal moments before the halftime whistle After Angeliño corralled Lorenzo Pellegrini's corner at the edge of the box the Spanish wing-back quickly whipped the ball to Shomurodov at the right post flung the ball back across the face of goal to Dovbyk for the gimme header This combination may not be etching their names into the record books but the Shomurodov-Dovbyk duo has been an interesting (and match-winning) wrinkle for Roma down the stretch Don't expect Ranieri to mess with success next week against Atalanta either let me pose a quick question: Who has had the more unexpected resurgence Cast aside for most of his tenure with the club the 28-year-old Turkish international has found a place in Ranieri's defense-first approach emerging as an ideal complement to Evan Ndicka and Gianluca Mancini along the three-man backline and added eight defensive actions to the mix Even though he didn't have a hand in Roma's goal, Soulé made his presence felt against Fiorentina on Sunday Soulé turned in a remarkably well-rounded performance He also covered a game-high 11.4 kilometers These players didn’t earn a halo last night but they still deserve recognition in our day-after player ratings series Koné delivered a vintage performance yesterday—if he can have such a thing at his age In addition to covering over 11 kilometers on the pitch Koné recovered seven balls (the most of any Roma player) and contributed seven defensive actions to the cause It'll take a miracle to keep him away from Europe's biggest clubs Roma should pull out all the stops to keep this kid in giallo e rosso Once a mainstay in our Saints category, the former Leipzig defender (who also played for Manchester City and Galatasaray) hit most of his marks on Sunday ending the evening with three duels won (including one in the air!) With three matches to spare and nine essential points on the line a healthy and active Angeliño will be critical in Roma's down-to-the-wire race for fourth place Check back next week after Roma's road trip to Atalanta when we'll hopefully have more halos to hand out Roma want to keep surging into the race for the top four and again use Artem Dovbyk with Matias Soulé while Fiorentina have Moise Kean back alongside ex-Giallorossi man Nicoló Zaniolo It kicks off at the Stadio Olimpico at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s four Serie A games on the Liveblog. Claudio Ranieri has transformed the Giallorossi from hovering just above the drop zone to fighting for Champions League qualification They are unbeaten in Serie A during 2025 and are coming off a huge 1-0 victory away to Inter so now this is a head-to-head for the top four so Roma stick with the 3-5-2 formation unveiled at San Siro last week with Eldor Shomurodov partnering Dovbyk upfront and Bryan Cristante providing midfield solidity Kean was initially on the bench in that game after a week out dealing with a family matter Albert Gudmundsson is rested in favour of Zaniolo who is sure to receive a frosty reception facing his old club Cher Ndour steps in for injured Danilo Cataldi while Luca Ranieri is suspended and Dodo still recovering from surgery for appendicitis as he waits to see if he’ll be allowed to resume his playing career following cardiac issues Edoardo Bove of ACF Fiorentina looks on during the Serie A match between Fiorentina and FC Internazionale at Stadio Artemio Franchi on February 6 (Photo by Gabriele Maltinti/Getty Images)Roma vs Fiorentina official line-upsRoma: Svilar;

Daniele De Rossi had just signed a shiny new contract running until 2027 after a solid 2023/24 Three draws and a loss in the opening four games The Giallorossi brought in Ivan Juric Juric hoping he’d steady the ship, but that didn’t go to plan either. By matchweek 12, he was gone too, having picked up just three wins, a draw, and four defeats in Serie A. Roma were stuck on 13 points and drifting far too close to the relegation zone Out of options, Roma turned to a familiar face - 73-year-old Ranieri recently retired and brought in as a short-term fix until the end of the season It didn’t click straight away. His return started with a loss to Napoli, a Europa League draw against Spurs, and another defeat to Atalanta But then came a turning point: a 4-1 thrashing of Lecce in matchweek 14 From there, Roma took off. Since the start of 2025, no team in Europe’s top five leagues has recorded more points. They’ve racked up 43, ahead of Barcelona on 41, and Bayern Munich and Strasbourg with 40 each And here’s another standout stat: Roma and Barcelona are the only two unbeaten teams in 2025 across UEFA’s top five leagues And it’s not just about results - their defence has been rock solid too.

It has been a turnaround of dreams for them. When Claudio Ranieri returned to his boyhood club in November they were struggling at 12th in Serie A Artem Dovbyk’s goal made the difference at Stadio Olimpico as they moved into the top four above their city rivals Lazio on goal difference They have the goal of reaching the Champions League and given their form very few would bet against them reaching it Since they lost to Como in December, Roma have been on a 19 match unbeaten streak A huge credit must go to Ranieri for the way he has completely transformed this team A big reason for this is the form of goalkeeper Mile Svilar who now leads the league for clean sheets with 15 Other notable improvements include the form of young Matias Soule who has really settled in well and is deciding games now Another key fact has been their ability to eke out narrow wins. Roma have won 1-0 nine times Serie A this season which is more than any other team in the Big five European Leagues in the 2024/25 season Eight of these have come under Claudio Ranieri While he is expected to leave the club come the summer Their last couple of games have been very impressive wins Their next two games are also extremely important ones Related NewsOnly Napoli better than Roma in

Crazy season. Got pumped 5-1 by Fiorentina earlier this season but also hasn’t lost in Serie A in 2025 so we’re very lucky to be able to call on Chiesa di Totti’s redoubtable leader Bren who was as patient as ever answering a bunch of my questions Has he made some brilliant tactical tweaks or is it just the World’s Greatest Nonno vibes Bren from Chiesa di Totti: Considering how slim many of their victories have been I’d hesitate to call Roma’s turnaround the product of some tactical innovation on Ranieri’s part tinkering with his approach when necessary but his impact has been predominantly mental—he’s restored Roma’s sense of self-belief After De Rossi was unceremoniously dumped in September the club’s Ivan Juric experiment couldn’t have gone any worse and experienced manager was the boost Roma needed in terms of specific tactical and personnel decisions Ranieri has elicited better performances from players like Mats Hummels (who Juric ignored) Paulo Dybala (who Juric apparently thought was a defender) We also can’t discount the effect losing Alexis Saelemaekers early in the season had on the club’s performance His return in late November coincided with Ranieri’s appointment as interim manager so while there is some correlation versus causation at play Given how bleak things were when Ranieri took over and genuine love and understanding of all things Roma-related have been a remedy for the club He was already among the most beloved figures in club history but his legend has grown immeasurably over the past few months VN: Fiorentina’s 5-1 win earlier this year feels like half a lifetime ago Manu Koné looked like the only Roma player doing anything Who else has stepped up over these past few months BfCdT: While it wasn’t exactly how we envisioned it Matías Soulé has shone since Paulo Dybala was lost to season-ending surgery using his guile and creativity to create chances in the final third rather than unfurling an array of stepovers or FIFA-worthy highlights We’ve also seen Hummels and Leandro Paredes rise and then rise again since the last fixture but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Eldor Shomurodov who has emerged as a legitimate complement to striker Artem Dovbyk who is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after keepers in Europe VN: Paulo Dybala was shining as only he can for much of the year right up until damaging tendons in his thigh against Cagliari I’m interested in how Roma’s adapted without him but I’m even more interested in how the Giallorossi seem to lose at least one key player every year to injury Is Trigoria built on an ancient Roman graveyard or something and you’ll see quite a few people lamenting that Trigoria Roma’s famed (or ill-fated) training ground I’m not sure what training methods Roma is or isn’t employing compared to their peers but you are correct: Roma does seem to lose key figures to lengthy injuries every year we’re talking about a notoriously fragile player in Dybala has always been plagued by muscular issues But it’s no coincidence that Roma cannot seem to score more than one goal without Dybala so I’m not entirely sure they have adapted to living without him Ranieri has increasingly leaned into a two-striker formation showcasing a Shomurodov-Dovbyk tandem over the past few weeks; it hasn’t produced a deluge of goals but it does afford each player more freedom than they would otherwise have Roma’s got some big decisions and none are bigger than who succeeds Ranieri I definitely won’t be hanging out ready to save the day again if need be they’ve pulled out all the stops to convince Ranieri to return including throwing millions at the 73-year-old Roman I’ve secretly hoped that Ranieri would use all this goodwill to strong-arm the club into bringing De Rossi back but that is probably just wishful thinking on my part They should hire someone like Cesc Fabregas but they will likely opt for a veteran re-tread like Max Allegri or Stefano Pioli and then fire him in VN: Have you heard anything about Edoardo Bove’s future There’ve been rumblings about a move abroad so he can continue playing next year but I haven’t heard anything definitive or even new BfCdT: I have not heard any updates about his future with Roma or anywhere else It seems as though he would be ineligible to play in Italy so I hope for his sake he can find a club willing to take a chance on him That was a very controversial sale among Roma fans who always hold local kids a bit closer to their hearts but he seems like a player who could succeed in the greener pastures of England How’s the game going to unfold and what’s the final score I’ll tell you what: I’d bet anything that this match won’t be decided by more than one goal since this match is at the Olimpico and Ranieri’s time with the club is running short I think Roma will get an emotional lift and take all three points in a 1-0 nailbiter Thanks, Bren. It’s always a delight chatting with someone dealing with as cursed a club as Fiorentina and who sees the pathos and humor in it. Check out the other half of our conversation on Chiesa di Totti Roma players celebrate their winning goal against FiorentinaPAOLO BRUNO / GETTY IMAGES EUROPE / Getty Images via AFPArtem Dovbyk’s header was the difference as Roma secured a vital 1-0 win over Fiorentina in Serie A extending their unbeaten run in home head-to-heads against La Viola to seven matches and moving four points clear of the visitors.With the teams separated by just one point ahead of kick off - and Bologna hosting Juventus later in the afternoon - this was to be a pivotal afternoon in deciding how Serie A’s European positions will look at the end of the season Those in Giallorossi shirts displayed plenty of energy early on, whether in the stands or on the pitch, but Fiorentina stood firm as Lorenzo Pellegrini saw one strike hit teammate Eldor Shomurodov and another sail off-target La Viola then went on the front foot and had the game’s first big chance in the 27th minute when Moise Kean masterfully turned away from Zeki Celik but was denied by the onrushing goalkeeper Mile Svilar and the striker then got behind Gianluca Mancini before being stopped by Svilar again David de Gea was equally convincing when denying Celik and Shomurodov, but the Spaniard couldn’t keep the match level going into the break, as Shomurodov headed Angelino’s fizzed ball in across goal for Dovbyk to nod home the opener in the fifth minute of added time Match statsFlashscoreDe Gea was swiftly back in action after the restart leaping across his line to hold Manu Kone’s strike from range while Nicolo Zaniolo and Fabiano Parisi both fired harmlessly over as La Viola applied pressure in search of an equaliser Svilar then added to his catalogue of impressive saves by getting a foot to Rolando Mandragora’s venomous hit before Niccolo Pisilli and Cher Ndour fired off target at either end then bravely dived at his feet to collect the ball and ensure Roma earned all three points in their 19th consecutive Serie A match unbeaten to Fiorentina remain eighth having lost back-to-back matches in the space of four days although they have an opportunity to put the first of those right as they host Real Betis in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday Flashscore Man of the Match: Mile Svilar (AS Roma) Player ratingsFlashscoreCheck out the match summary with Flashscore. Juventus clung onto their place in Serie A’s Champions league positions on Sunday after being held to a 1-1 draw at rivals Bologna Remo Freuler’s deflected strike in the 54th minute cancelled out Khephren Thuram’s early opener and gave Bologna a deserved home draw at a packed Stadio Renato Dall’Ara Juve are in fourth on goal difference ahead of Roma and sixth-placed Lazio with the trio all locked on 63 points Bologna might sit seventh but they are only a point behind Juve and the Rome clubs and are also in with a chance of their first major trophy since 1974 with the Italian Cup final against AC Milan coming up a week on Wednesday The draw also created an even more crowded battle for a place in next season’s Champions League with another round of crucial match-ups coming up next weekend are at Lazio while Roma head to Atalanta who were this weekend’s big winners in the tussle for the top four with a 4-0 thumping of relegated Monza Roma and Lazio with three matches remaining in the season and are now big favourites to claim one of two remaining spots in Europe’s elite club competition Charles De Ketelaere netted his first league goals since before Christmas in the first half before Ademola Lookman and Marco Brescianini completed the rout for Atalanta with well-taken strikes after the break Rock-bottom Monza will play in Serie B next season ending a three-season run in the top flight for the team owned by the Berlusconi family Assured of promotion are Sassuolo and Pisa the latter club securing automatic promotion on Sunday even though they lost 1-0 to Bari as their closest rivals Spezia were beaten 2-1 at Reggiana Juventus manager Igor Tudor remained upbeat even though his side missed a chance to strengthen their grip on fourth place saying that the battle for Champions League football was still firmly in his side’s hands Tudor denied that anything was decided at Renato Dall’Ara Stadium “There are three games left and we are still fourth then there’s Udinese and Venezia,” Tudor told DAZN “I said before kick-off that whatever the result one game cannot decide everything when there are so many teams crammed together in a few points.” Although the hosts controlled possession throughout Juve created multiple significant opportunities to secure a win all things considered.” Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano shared the same outlook “There are still nine points up for grabs and that’s an enormous amount at that level of the table,” he said there are many head-to-head clashes still to be played so whoever has the most consistent mentality and intensity will reach their objective.” Bologna are set for an exciting end to the season starting with an away match against AC Milan followed by a Coppa Italia final clash with the same opponents the first meeting with Milan is in Serie A I think we’ll be very concentrated and it won’t distract us ahead of the Coppa Italia,” Italiano said Do not duplicate or redistribute in any form.\nVAT number: 01073200154\nLicenza SIAE 5330/I/5051 This site uses technical cookies essential for the correct functioning of the website and to provide the service offered and requested by a user; First party and Third party analytical and profiling cookies are used to measure site usage, and to tailor advertising to your interests.

Additionally, Ranieri commented on Koné’s versatility during his pre-match presser “Kone is a versatile player who can play in lots of positions We saw him operating in a double pivot for France against Italy and he did well He’s a smart lad who can adapt to different positions whether it’s a box-to-box role or in front of the defence I can play him either here or there depending on the opponents.” Based on reports from around the peninsula, it’s expected that Roma will line up in a 3-5-2 formation with Koné anchoring a midfield alongside Italians Bryan Cristante and Lorenzo Pellegrini This would mean another start on the bench for Paredes Those three players will be flanked by Angeliño and Matías Soulé it appears that Artem Dovbyk and Eldor Shomurodov will once again form a two-striker setup Ranieri was asked about that possibility in his presser that’s something you’ve asked me about many times And I perhaps thought about it more than I should have Thanks to a timely Artem Dovbyk goal and another jaw-dropping performance from Mile Svilar in goal Roma's Champions League dream remains alive and well After taming then league-leading Inter Milan on the road with a seldom-seen two-striker formation, Claudio Ranieri wasn't going to tempt fate today against Fiorentina Trotting out the same starting eleven that narrowly defeated Inter last weekend at the San Siro Ranieri was relying on continuity to secure a win against a red-hot Viola side Fueled by Moise Kean and his 17 league strikes Fiorentina arrived in the capital riding a six-match unbeaten streak a six-match heater pales in comparison to Roma's epic 18-match unbeaten streak With another sell-out crowd serenading them at kick-off Ranieri and Roma had all the ingredients in place to extend their streak to 19 league matches without a defeat But it wasn't exactly smooth sailing at the Stadio Olimpico this afternoon In one of their first sequences of the match Bryan Cristante played Artem Dovbyk into space only to see the Ukrainian forward fail to fire a shot on goal setting the stage for another tense affair for the Giallorossi Roma's attacking frustrations continued several minutes later when Lorenzo Pellegrini flipped a half-hearted lob at David de Gea who watched as the ball looped harmlessly over the bar Rather than using these attempts as appetizers before the real entrées emerged from the kitchen The former Juve wunderkind was denied by Mile Svilar three times in 10 minutes who continues to bolster his case as the league's best keeper Roma would eventually counter the Viola's first-half attack, with Zeki Celik testing de Gea from distance, striking the ball from the edge of the box, only to see the former Manchester United keeper rise to the occasion Shomurodov would test de Gea several minutes later Due to several stoppages of play in the first half the match officials added five minutes of stoppage time before half-time and Roma waited until almost the last second to capitalize on the opportunity Artem Dovbyk's diving header gives Roma the lead just before the break pic.twitter.com/tIKRfoG54I but this chance would have gone nowhere without Shomurodov's flicked header to Dovbyk at the far left post While Fiorentina protested the goal (thinking time had already expired) thanks to Shomu's quick thinking and Dovbyk's calm header Roma headed into the break with a vital goal With a one-goal lead in their pocket and three precious points in the balance Ranieri went with his hard runners in the second half introducing Niccolo Pisilli and Tommaso Baldanzi early in the period Although it didn't result in an entertaining 45 minutes of football Ranieri's strategy continues to be remarkably effective With his midfielders buzzing around the center of the park and his defense compacted around the edge of the area riding Svilar's hot hand to the club's 19th straight positive result I'm sure Roma will score more than one goal again Ranieri has stumbled into a winning formula late in the season using two strikers to bully opponents in the first half before grabbing a timely goal then sitting back and letting his midfield and defense run out the clock Thanks to today's victory, Roma is temporarily in fourth place, pending the outcome of Juventus vs. Bologna, which kicks off later today. Worst case scenario, Roma finishes the weekend in 5th place, two points behind Juve or one point behind Bologna, setting the stage for a tense finish to the season as all three clubs (plus Lazio) jockey for Italy's fourth and final Champions League spot Roma takes their act on the road to face Atalanta next Monday Chan School of Public Health and other institutions.  “The work of the Roma program falls underneath the umbrella of the FXB Center, where we believe that health is a human right and that upholding that right really requires us to tackle structural violence that makes health so inaccessible to so many,” said Jehane Sedky the FXB Center has focused deliberately on urgent and overlooked priorities an area of scholarship that was largely absent at the time The Roma program continues this legacy.”  The conference’s keynote panel featured Suraj Yengde Du Bois Fellow at Harvard University and the author of the forthcoming book “Caste: A Global Story.” Yengde highlighted the origins of race and caste as concepts and talked about how oppressors have racialized and marginalized certain groups throughout history.   assistant professor of ethnomusicology at Stanford University studies the legacies of Romani historical trauma through Romani music and art She noted that Yengde’s presentation provided a challenge to examine the “architecture of social hierarchies” by exploring not just race and racialization but also factors related to identity such as caste “This approach is crucial as it broadens our understanding of oppression,” she said.  Experts on another panel highlighted cases of racism throughout the world a sociologist and assistant professor at Central European University in Budapest and Vienna discussed the damaging effects of racial discrimination among the Roma Citing statistics from a report from the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights compared to a European average of 17%; 22% lived in a house with no tap water; and 46% had no indoor toilet or shower The report also found that 29% of Roma children had gone to bed hungry at least once in the prior month and just 44% of young Romani children received early childhood education 25% of Roma people reported feeling discriminated against in the previous five years a professor in the Department of Social Policy at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro spoke about racial discrimination in Brazil She noted that over 55% of Brazil identifies as Black and that many face discrimination in the form of segregated facilities co-director of the Palestine Program.  titled “The Permanence of Anti-Roma Racism: Unauthored Sentences.” MTS ’26 student at Harvard Divinity School we offer highly targeted executive and continuing education Stay connected with newsletters on climate communication — and the latest from Harvard Chan School Sports reporter in LondonPublished: Invalid Date EDOARDO BOVE made an emotional return to Roma this evening six months on from collapsing during a match While on loan at Fiorentina, the 22-year-old suffered a cardiac arrest during a match against Inter Milan and was rushed to hospital Bove was subsequently discharged 12 days later The midfielder has since been recovering and has signalled his intention to return to action next season Born in the Italian capital, Bove came through the ranks at boyhood club Roma The Italy Under-21 international joined Fiorentina on loan last summer and remains contracted to Roma until 2028 While still not back in action, the homecoming hero travelled with his team-mates to the match and was met with a brilliant response.
