A record-breaking start to the season for Roma . The Giallorossi won 2-5 at Udinese and have soared to 24 points after just 10 games, a feat they haven't seen since 2013-14, when Garcia reached 30 with 10 consecutive wins. Gasperini's team is scoring goals like wildfire: a staggering 28, a record for the Roman club at this point in the season.
Malen is the driving force with 8 goals, followed by 11 other different players who have managed to get past the opposing goalkeeper: from Soulé (3) to Ghilardi (1), a true goal-scoring cooperative. Taking into account the Champions League, the total reaches 36 with 14 different scorers. A record also for Gasperini…
Gasperini's Roma surpasses the most prolific version of Atalanta: the numbers
Leading his team to a flurry of goals is nothing new for Gian Piero Gasperini, but he's outperforming himself this season. The Grugliasco-born coach in Bergamo built a devastating Atalanta side that scored 98 goals in Serie A in 2019-20, earning 78 points and a third-place finish.
At this point in the championship, that team had beaten the opposition goalkeepers twice more (30) than the current Roma (28) but if we also consider the Champions League the situation is reversed. Here Gasp is preparing to break other records. The Giallorossi have scored 36 goals in the first 13 official matches, 4 more than the most prolific version of the Goddess (32) who in Europe stuttered in front of goal, losing against Dinamo Zagreb (4-0), Shakhtar (1-2) and Manchester City (5-1).
That Atalanta side nearly scored 100 goals in the league , and if Roma were to continue like this, they would reach 106 in Serie A. With Malen a veritable force and the club awaiting a quality left winger in the January transfer window, nothing seems impossible.
