Overview
- Roma recorded a 4-0 victory at the Stadio Olimpico, with goals from Mario Hermoso, Nahuel Molina, Niccolò Pisilli and Donyell Malen in front of more than 60,000 fans.
- Captain Lorenzo Pellegrini left with a muscle injury during the game and handed the armband to youngster Niccolò Pisilli, who scored and said it was an honour to wear the captain’s band.
- Coach Giampiero Gasperini warned that the dense calendar raises the risk of losing players for key matches and stressed the need for squad readiness.
- Napoli edged Bodø/Glimt 4-3 in a see-saw match that featured repeated lead changes and a last-gasp winner, a result that highlighted defensive fragility despite delivering valuable points.
- Both results lift group-stage hopes and morale, but they also increase pressure on rotation and medical staff as teams prepare for high-intensity fixtures ahead.
