Italy thrash Turkey 4-1 in Nations League as Ghilardi watches from bench

Roma's away allocation for the clash at Paris Saint-Germain has sold out, with 1,500 tickets gone within three hours of the sale opening. The Champions League fixture is scheduled for Wednesday 25 November at 21:00 at the Parc des Princes. The match carries significant weight for Gian Piero Gasperini's side, both in terms of prestige and in the standings. Roma have collected four points from their opening four matches, so qualification is still to be secured. Facing the reigning European champions makes the fixture a major test for the squad. The away section's capacity was reduced from what had been planned for public order reasons, given the friendship between Paris ultras and Napoli's supporters. Roma fans responded strongly, with the 1,500 available tickets selling out in the first three hours of the sale.

Roma's allocation for the Champions League league-phase trip to Paris Saint-Germain has sold out within three hours, with all 1,500 tickets put on sale gone. The fixture is the fifth matchday of the Champions League league phase, set for 25 November at 21:00, away at PSG. The Roma section of the stadium was reduced at the request of French police on public order grounds. It has been cut from around 2,300 to 1,500 places. The away trip is considered at risk because of the friendship between PSG's ultras and Napoli's supporters, historic rivals of Roma's fans. The club's European campaign continues with this trip to the Parc des Princes, and the restricted allocation means a large number of Roma supporters who wanted to travel will not be able to attend the match in person.

Santiago Castro has been named the best Serie A goal of October for his strike against Genoa, which helped Roma to a 2-0 win in the seventh matchday of the league season. The Argentine forward has scored only one goal since joining Roma in the final summer transfer window, and that was the effort against Genoa. The goal showcased the technical qualities of the centre-forward. Surrounded by three Genoa defenders inside the penalty area, Castro found space from nothing, struck a sudden and precise shot, and beat the goalkeeper to send the ball into the net. The award came ahead of the spectacular overhead kick by Orsolini against Lecce. The Serie A league's official account shared the award on social media, with video of the goal available to watch.

Roma defender Daniele Ghilardi is named in Italy's squad for a second time with the senior side and is among the substitutes for the match against France at San Siro, where he hopes to make his debut during the game. Speaking to Sky Sport before kick-off, he focused on the challenge ahead. Ghilardi, born in 2003, said: "They are all great players, but we must be calm and sure of our qualities. Obviously we will need to pay attention to their attack because they are all stars." He described the fixture as a special occasion, adding that Italy would give their maximum against a major side in a beautiful stadium. For Roma's centre-back, the match is a second call-up to the senior Italy team, which gives him another chance to test himself against top international opposition. He also reflected on the make-up of the squad. "Once again, it is a very beautiful match, we face a great team in a beautiful stadium, so we will certainly give our all. For me it is the second time, we are many young players and all very strong, and I hope everyone can show their qualities." His message was one of confidence: a young, talented group that needs to believe in itself.
