The Olimpico sits in the final positions of his table, far from the top.

It is not clear how much the assessment of the stadium weighed against the overall experience of visiting the capital. Bodø/Glimt's trip to Rome is also remembered for the heavy 4-0 defeat the Norwegians suffered against Roma, a memory that is sweet for some and less so for others.

Malen named Serie A Player of the Month for September

Roma forward Donyell Malen has been named Serie A's Player of the Month for September, with the award presented today by the general director of the AIC (Italian Footballers' Association), Gianni Grazioli. Malen, a Dutchman, has continued to score and perform for Roma in both Serie A and the Champions League, and has 9 goals for the club across all competitions so far. Malen's form has been a consistent feature since his arrival in mid-January. In 29 matches he has scored 24 goals, a remarkable return. His September award was earned in part by his goal against Torino, alongside what the article describes as his usual strong performances.
