Mourinho denies Real Madrid contact

Roma Femminile head coach Luca Rossettini addressed the squad ahead of a crucial match against Ternana on 2 May at Tre Fontane stadium, with kick-off at 18:30. The fixture represents a potential title-clinching opportunity for Roma's third Scudetto. Following Roma's recent victory over Juventus, Rossettini emphasized that the team has control of their own destiny and need not look at other results. Rossettini described the upcoming challenge as difficult, noting that Ternana halted Fiorentina's campaign and is fighting for survival. He struck a balance between acknowledging the tension of the occasion and maintaining focus on performance. "The girls are aware that a positive result would be fundamental," Rossettini said. "However, it is a match to be played, and in our season, when the result should have been certain, the matches have not been simple. Our work is to keep them focused on the performance, on playing with aggression. The nearby target is charging them up. My task will be to get them there with the right energy, so they can express themselves at their best." Rossettini highlighted the importance of supporter backing at Tre Fontane, describing the fans' affection as a driving force throughout the season that has propelled the team across European competition.

Paulo Dybala suggested a move to Boca Juniors remains possible, stating "You never know" about his future at the Argentine club. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has appealed directly to the Friedkin Group ownership regarding club matters. Meanwhile, ongoing refereeing controversies continue to affect Roma. Details about the specific issues Gasperini raised and the nature of the refereeing disputes remain unclear from available reporting.

Como manager Fabregas highlighted the disparity in resources between his club and Roma after Como defeated Genoa 2–0 to remain level on points with Roma in fifth place. Fabregas pointed out that Roma, along with Juventus and Napoli, have invested in the transfer market during the season, while Como has operated with a limited squad throughout the campaign. The Como boss stated: "We are few, we have been fighting since the beginning of the season with the same players, unlike Roma, Juve or Napoli who have done business taking various Malen, Boga and Alisson. We are few, but we are doing good work and we must not stop." Roma signed Donyell Malen in January and continue to compete near the top of Serie A alongside Como. Fabregas also remarked on the remarkable progress Como has made, noting that his team was competing in Serie B just 20 months earlier against Cittadella. He declined to comment on transfer speculation but emphasized the achievement of his squad in challenging the elite clubs despite their modest resources. The competitive battle for a top-five finish remains tight, with Como and Roma separated by neither goal difference nor points.
