Roma Stage Dramatic Comeback to Beat Parma 3–2; Champions League Still Within Reach

Source: Forza Roma

Roma secured a thrilling 3–2 victory over Parma in a recovery-time turnaround at the Stadio Tardini. Donyell Malen scored twice—first in the 22nd minute to give Roma a 1–0 halftime lead, then from the penalty spot in the 101st minute to seal the win. The hosts mounted a second-half comeback, with Gabriel Strefezza equalizing in the 47th minute and Mandela Keita putting Parma ahead 2–1 in the 87th. Roma equalized through Rensch in the 90+4th minute before earning a penalty for a foul on Rensch, which Malen converted. Paulo Dybala played a creative role throughout, assisting Malen's opening goal and contributing to Roma's attacking play across both halves.

The victory moves Roma to 67 points, level with Milan and two clear of Como, keeping Champions League qualification within reach. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini fielded a strong lineup from the start, with Malen, Dybala, and Matías Soulé leading the attack. Roma dominated possession early but allowed Parma space on the counter; the turning point came when Rensch's late equalizer triggered a penalty decision, reviewed and upheld by the referee. Despite a sluggish second-half display, Roma's resilience and attacking potency prevailed.

La Champions è ancora possibileGetty ImagesI giallorossi vincono una partita incredibile grazie alla doppietta dell'olandese. Gasp aggancia il Milan Marco Di Cola Collaboratore 10 maggio 2026 (modifica il 10 maggio 2026 | 20:11) La Roma vince una partita incredibile e continua a sognare la Champions League. Dopo un primo tempo chiuso in vantaggio (gol di Malen), la ripresa si complica. Il Parma la ribalta 2-1 con le reti di Strefezza e Keita ma nel recupero i giallorossi hanno la forza di prendersi i tre punti. Decisivo Rensch che prima firma il pareggio e poi conquista il calcio di rigore realizzato sempre da Malen che firma il 3-2 finale. Una vittoria importantissima per i giallorossi che salgono a quota 67 punti, gli stessi del Milan, allontanando il Como di due lunghezze. Vittoria ottenuta con le unghie e con i denti dai giallorossi che fino al 93esimo erano sotto 2-1. Gasperini non fa calcoli, il futuro passa dalla partita di oggi e per questo schiera il miglior undici a disposizione. Davanti a Svilar la solita linea a tre formata da Mancini, Ndicka ed Hermoso. Sulle corsie laterali Celik e Wesley con la coppia Cristante-Koné a fare da cerniera in mezzo al campo. In attacco, insieme a Malen e Soulé, torna dal primo minuto Paulo Dybala.Dybala disegna, Malen insacca: Roma avanti 1-0 a fine primo tempo— La partita inizia subito su ritmi molto alti. Il Parma ci prova con Strefezza mentre la Roma prova a rendersi pericolosa con un'incursione di Malen e poi con Dybala che lamenta un contatto in area di rigore con Troilo non ravvisato dall'arbitro. I giallorossi la sbloccano all'ottavo minuto con il solito Malen, bravissimo ad anticipare l'uscita di Suzuki e a depositare in rete, ma Chiffi e l'assistente non ha dubbi e segnalano una posizione di fuorigioco in partenza proprio dell'olandese. La squadra di casa non si lascia spaventare però e al 13esimo si rende nuovamente pericolosa con Strefezza che questa volta spara altissimo sopra la traversa da buona posizione. Al 19esimo episodio controverso: cross d'esterno di Dybala per il controllo di petto di Mancini che, sul secondo tocco, anticipa Valenti e poi finisce a terra. Per Chiffi non c'è nulla e anche il Var conferma nonostante le proteste dei giallorossi (restano grossi dubbi). La squadra di Gasperini però ha in mano la partita, è in costante proiezione offensivi e due minuti più tardi la sblocca con il solito Donyell Malen. Recupero palla di Kone (in collaborazione con Cristante) e tocco di prima di Dybala per l'olandese che controlla e calcia all'angolino non lasciando scampo a Suzuki. Dodicesimo gol di Malen in 15 partite di Serie A: impatto devastante. L'occasione per il raddoppio arriva al 29esimo con il colpo di testa ravvicinato di Soulé che da due passi colpisce in pieno in palo. Occasione gigantesca per l'argentino, nata ancora da una magia di Dybala che in questa prima mezz'ora sta disegnando calcio al Tardini. La Roma però rischia tantissimo a 10 minuti dall'intervallo. Indecisione quasi fatale tra Ndicka e Svilar che rischia di concedere il pareggio a Strefezza, fermato però dall'uscita proprio del portiere belga. La Roma fa la partita, crea pericoli ed occasione ma sulle ripartenze concede molto campo al Parma che sta bene fisicamente e molto spesso arriva a calciare. Dopo due minuti di recupero, Chiffi fischia la fine di un intenso e divertente primo tempo. Per il momento decide il gol del solito Malen.Pazza ripresa: Malen decide tutto nel recupero. Gasp sogna la Champions— La ripresa si apre senza cambia da una parte e dall'altra e con un altro numero di Paulo Dybala che raccoglie anche gli applausi dei tifosi avversari (destro sinistro e apertura in mezzo a tre). Il Parma però non si fa intimidire e dopo appena due minuti trova il pareggio con Gabriel Strefezza, il più pericoloso dei suoi. Il brasiliano ex Como e Lecce riceve da Nicolussi Caviglia, controlla, la sposta e calcia rasoterra all'angolino dove Svilar non può arrivare. La Roma però ha subito la palla per tornare avanti ma Suzuki compie un autentico miracolo sul sinistro a botta sicura di Malen. Prima dell'ora di gioco, entrambi gli allenatori mettono mano ai cambi. Cuesta sostituisce Strefezza inserendo Pellegrino mentre Gasperini risponde cambiando Hermoso con Ghilardi. Al 55esimo il Parma trova anche il gol del 2-1 con la testata perfetta di Pellegrino su angolo di Valeri ma Chiffi ferma tutto per una posizione irregolare di Troilo davanti a Svilar. Campanello d'allarme molto importante però per la Roma che dopo un primo tempo dominato, ha iniziato la ripresa in maniera troppo molle. Gasperini è preoccupato e fa altri due cambi: dentro Pisilli ed El Aynaoui al posto di Soulé e Cristante. Il Parma però è in fiducia e continua ad attaccare. Sul cross di Valeri, Delprato arriva in ritardo non riuscendo a chiudere sul secondo palo un'ottima azione. La Roma, nonostante i cambi, fatica a tornare sui livelli del primo tempo mentre i padroni di casa continuano a proporre un ottimo calcio. La grande occasione però arriva al 73esimo, sempre con Malen che, dopo una ripartenza guidata da El Aynaoui, calcia troppo centrale permettendo a Suzuku di esaltarsi. Sulla palla vagante ci prova Pisilli che però non inquadra la porta. I giallorossi hanno altre due grandi occasioni, prima con Pisilli (muro miracoloso di Troilo) e poi con Mancini che salta più in alto di tutti ma spara alto sopra la traversa. Nel finale la Roma cerca il 2-1 ma a trovarlo è il Parma con il destro sul primo palo di Mandela Keita che fa esplodere tutto il Tardini. Nel recupero, la Roma ci prova con tutto quello che ha e trova anche il gol del pareggio con Rensch che in mischia, trova l'angolo giusto per battere Suzuki. La Roma riporta subito palla a centrocampo, il pareggio non basta e all'ultimo pallone conquista calcio di rigore per una trattenuta evidente di Britschgi in area su Rensch. Dopo l'On Field Review, Chiffi assegna calcio di rigore.

Roma-Lazio derby scheduled for Sunday 12:00 as Lega seeks compromise with tennis finals

AS Roma's Derby della Capitale clash against SS Lazio on 17 May has become the subject of a scheduling dispute involving public order authorities. The match, part of Serie A's 37th round, is set to take place the same day as the final of the 83rd edition of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia tennis tournament. Both events occur within metres of each other at the Foro Italico, creating significant crowd management challenges. The Lega di Serie A initially proposed a 12:30 kick-off, but Rome's Prefettura (local authority) pushed back, suggesting the derby be moved to Monday 18 May at 20:45. In response, the Lega and Prefettura have now proposed a compromise: hold the derby on Sunday 17 May at 12:00, with all concurrent Serie A matches scheduled for the same time, while requesting the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation delay the tennis final by two and a half hours to 17:30. This would allow both events to proceed on the same day several hours apart. The tennis final is already sold out. The proposal would also affect matches involving Juventus, Milan, Como, and Napoli—all contenders in the Champions League race—forcing them to play at an unusual midday slot during May's heat and heightened competition tension. Official confirmation remains pending. Details of whether all parties will accept the compromise remain unclear, and further changes could still occur before the final decision is announced.

Derby della Capitale fixture uncertain; potential shift to Monday evening under consideration

The timing of Roma's upcoming derby against SS Lazio remains unconfirmed following scheduling complications affecting multiple Serie A title contenders. The Lega Serie A initially announced the match for Sunday, May 17 at 12:30 p.m., alongside fixtures for Napoli, Milan, Juventus, and Como in the Champions League race. However, a provincial public order and security committee meeting scheduled for today could alter these plans, with Monday, May 18 emerging as a possible new date. Local authorities — the prefettura and questura — are considering various kickoff times. While officials prefer an 18:00 start, an evening kickoff is also under discussion, despite evening fixtures typically being restricted due to public safety concerns. The Lega Serie A opposes any postponement and has indicated readiness to escalate the matter to competent authorities, including potential legal action through the Tar (administrative court). League chief executive Luigi De Siervo has proposed an alternative: postponing the final of the Rome International Tennis Tournament to free up security resources. The fixture is complicated by concurrent scheduling demands across the league, with multiple clubs competing for Champions League qualification. Details remain unclear regarding which option will ultimately prevail, though a decision is expected soon following today's security meeting.

Derby preparations: Pellegrini and Dovbyk to rejoin squad, Dybala in starting lineup

AS Roma is preparing for the Derby della Capitale with key players set to return. Lorenzo Pellegrini and Dovbyk are expected to rejoin the squad following a rest day, with the team resuming training soon. Paulo Dybala is lined up to start the derby match alongside Matías Soulé and Donyell Malen in attack, with the club considering deploying the attacking trio to maximize their chances in the capital derby against SS Lazio's squad. The derby takes place amid an intense Serie A title race for Champions League qualification. Roma recently secured a dramatic late victory over Parma, while AC Milan's loss in their evening fixture has kept the competition wide open. With both third and fourth place still up for grabs and only two spots available for European football, the upcoming matches are critical. Napoli, currently second, suffered a home defeat to Bologna and will need points from their next fixtures to secure Champions League football. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's Roma remains in contention despite the tight standings. The squad appears to have recovered well from recent efforts, with Malen receiving praise for his recent performances. The clash against Sarri's Lazio team represents a crucial opportunity for Roma to press their European qualification bid as the season reaches its decisive phase.

Malen Sets Record as Most Prolific January Signing in Serie A History

Donyell Malen has established himself as the most productive striker ever signed in January across Serie A's modern era. The Dutch forward scored a brace in a recent match, bringing his tally to 13 Serie A goals and 14 for the season across 16 appearances—averaging one goal every 101 minutes. With this latest double, Malen surpassed Mario Balotelli, who had remained at 12 goals in this specialized ranking of January acquisitions. His strike rate represents an exceptional return for a midfielder-turned-forward acquisition. Malen's performances have made a significant impact at Roma since his arrival. His prolific output over a compressed timeframe highlights the quality of the signing and demonstrates the immediate value he has brought to the squad. The comparison to Balotelli underscores just how remarkable Malen's early contribution has been, as Balotelli was previously the benchmark for January signings in Italian football.

Roma Evaluating Striker Options to Back Up Malen

Roma are looking to recruit a deputy striker to support Donyell Malen, who has impressed since joining the club. Current alternatives Robinio Vaz is considered too inexperienced, Evan Ferguson will not be retained, and Artem Dovbyk is set to leave after a prolonged thigh injury. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini is a confirmed admirer of Gianluca Scamacca, who plays for Atalanta. Scamacca has scored 14 goals and provided 3 assists in 37 appearances this season while sharing striker duties with Nenad Krstovic. He remains under contract with Atalanta until 2027, and his valuation stands at approximately €30 million—the same fee Atalanta paid for him three years ago. Scamacca came through Roma's youth academy but departed at age 16 to join PSV. He later had successful spells at Sassuolo before stints at West Ham and Atalanta, though an ACL injury in April 2024 set back his progress. Roma may attempt to use Dovbyk as a bargaining chip in negotiations. Fiorentina have shown interest in the Ukrainian forward, who has underperformed in Serie A, while Fiorentina's Roberto Piccoli faces similar struggles after a reported €30 million investment. A swap deal between the clubs could benefit both sides. Roma's transfer budget for this role may depend on funds recovered from Dovbyk's departure, as financial constraints limit spending on additional positions.

Rensch emerges as unexpected hero under Gasperini, a versatile option for Roma's future

Devyne Rensch delivered a decisive performance in Roma's comeback victory over Parma on Sunday, scoring and winning a penalty in just ten minutes off the bench. The Dutch winger replaced Çelik and demonstrated the kind of impact that has caught the attention of head coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who is unlikely to forget such a clinical display from a player not known for scoring goals and earning penalties in quick succession. Rensch's playing time this season has been inconsistent. After an encouraging start—highlighted by an excellent showing in the opening derby against Lazio—Gasperini reduced his minutes, favoring other options through January and February. From March onward, the situation shifted again as the coach returned to relying on Rensch more regularly. Defensive vulnerabilities have been evident, but the winger has provided three consecutive assists against Inter, Pisa, and Atalanta. His commitment has remained constant despite Roma's gradual deterioration in the race for Champions League qualification. Looking ahead, Rensch's future appears secure at Roma, with his emotional bond to the club evident since signing a year ago. The key question is what role he will occupy next season. One scenario sees him functioning as a utility player across both flanks and backup to Wesley and Çelik. Alternatively, if Gasperini moves Wesley permanently to the right side, Rensch could become the main left-back deputy. The coach aims to increase quality and intensity on the wings, with decisions on Çelik's renewal and Angeliño's possible departure likely to shape the structure of Roma's wide options.

Gasperini takes control: Roma on a winning run without Ranieri's influence

Roma has won three consecutive matches—beating Bologna, Fiorentina, and Parma—in the three weeks since head coach Gian Piero Gasperini resolved internal tensions with Claudio Ranieri. The victories represent a significant momentum shift for the club, with Gasperini's tactical vision now firmly established as the dominant force in the dressing room. A substitute appearance by Rensch in the Parma match exemplified the squad's depth and commitment to Gasperini's system, demonstrating that more than 11 players are now potential starters. The article indicates that Gasperini had sought greater decisional authority in recent months, a position that conflicted with Ranieri's philosophy as senior advisor. Ranieri, bound to Roma's traditions and institutional values, had advocated for internal balance and protection of the management structure. With that internal discord resolved, the team has shed the surrounding controversy and refocused on football. The squad now operates with unified purpose around Gasperini's tactical approach, with enthusiasm building toward the upcoming derby against SS Lazio. The on-field success appears to have vindicated Gasperini's methods and reinforced squad cohesion around his vision for the remainder of the season.
