Roma thrash Fiorentina 4-0 at the Olimpico in dominant Champions-level display

Gianluca Mancini spoke after Roma's victory over Fiorentina, praising the squad's unity and commitment under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Mancini acknowledged Ranieri's contributions but made clear the team's focus is on following the current manager. He said: "Da allenatore e da dirigente per noi ha fatto qualcosa di importante. Lo abbiamo ringraziato" (As coach and director he did something important for us. We thanked him), but stressed that such matters are beyond the playing squad's concern. Mancini emphasized Roma's resilience after a difficult 2024–25 campaign, noting the group has remained united throughout. He credited their training intensity and collective belief as the team pursues a Champions League finish with three matches remaining. "Questa squadra ha carattere. In un anno ci possono essere settimane o partite in cui ti gira male o dove sei un po' giù, ma l'impegno e la forza di crederci sempre e allenarsi a mille all'ora per arrivare la domenica, andare forte e vincere le partite non è mai mancato" (This squad has character. In a year there can be weeks or matches when things go badly or you're down, but the commitment and strength to believe and train hard to arrive on Sunday, go strong and win matches has never been lacking). Gasperini also addressed the squad's cohesion, describing Roma as "a beautiful, united group, strong in character and players," though he acknowledged ups and downs are normal. Mancini highlighted Donyell Malen's impact since his arrival and called for continued focus on themselves rather than rivals, with upcoming fixtures against Parma, Lazio in the derby, and Verona.

Fiorentina manager Paolo Vanoli commented on his team's performance in a Serie A match against AS Roma on matchday 35. Vanoli acknowledged that his side struggled after Roma's opening goal, stating his team was unable to recover during the contest. He highlighted Roma's strong showing, crediting them with a commanding performance that controlled the game. The exact final scoreline and additional tactical details remain unclear from the available information.

Nicolò Fagioli addressed the media after Fiorentina's heavy defeat to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. The midfielder acknowledged Roma's superiority, stating: "The Roma deserved to win; in my opinion we didn't approach the match well. In the first half we made a lot of mistakes in possession and without the ball. When you play against these experienced teams, in a stadium like this, it's difficult. Reacting after conceding two goals in 5–10 minutes is hard." Fiorentina conceded four goals and faced an uphill battle after a poor opening period. Fagioli reflected on the team's broader struggles this season, noting that recovering from such early setbacks against a strong Roma side proved impossible. He emphasized that the team's main objective now is to secure a single point for safety and avoid relegation, with three matches remaining. Fagioli, who has emerged as Fiorentina's standout performer this season after arriving from Juventus, stressed the importance of finishing the campaign respectably. "Now the goal must be to get a point with Genoa, but we need to win, not draw," he said. "Our objective should be to win even against Juventus and Atalanta—we owe that to the fans after a season like this." He attributed the heavy defeat more to technical failings than fatigue, noting that mistakes at this level carry immediate consequences.
