  • Pellegrini returned from a right thigh surgery in May to repay coach Gian Piero Gasperini's faith and celebrated with a kiss to Roma's ultra supporters in Curva Sud.
  • Roma moved to fourth place, one point behind Juventus and level with AC Milan and Napoli, while Lazio remains low with three points from four matches under coach Maurizio Sarri.
  • Pellegrini expressed his love for Roma, pledging to give everything in the shirt despite losing captaincy and being transfer-listed, while Sarri criticized the midday kickoff as a loss for soccer.
