Pisilli and Ghilardi share post-match pizza and a family reunion after Napoli defeat

Gianluca Mancini mocked Massimiliano Allegri from the Roma bench during the Napoli-Roma match, and a clip of the moment is now spreading rapidly on social media. The video, published by DAZN, shows the reactions of both benches after Balerdi's goal made it 3-3. Allegri lost his temper in the closing stages at the Maradona. After Balerdi's equaliser, the Napoli coach protested angrily with the fourth official, was sent off, and took off his jacket in rage. The DAZN footage shows Mancini copying Allegri's gestures and taking him off after his outburst, a moment that has not gone unnoticed by fans. The scenes add another chapter to a tense finish at the Maradona, which was also marked by Allegri's comments aimed at Roma. Near the press room, the coach let slip a remark about last season's Champions League, claiming the Giallorossi had "put it in their pocket". The words caused irritation inside the Roman club. DAZN posted the clip on social media with the caption: "All of Max Allegri's rage seen from the touchline", alongside the hashtags #Allegri, #NapoliRoma, #SerieAEnilive and #DAZN.

Massimiliano Allegri's post-match outburst after Napoli's 3-3 draw with Roma at the Maradona has sparked a row, with Roma hitting back that their Champions League qualification was earned on the pitch. The Napoli coach was sent off late in the match, after Balerdi's equaliser, when Napoli protested a foul in the build-up to the goal. Away from the official microphones, Allegri reportedly said: "Sempre loro… L'anno scorso gli hanno messo la Champions in tasca. L'ho pagata con il Milan". The remark refers to last season, when Roma secured Champions League qualification on the pitch while Allegri's Milan finished outside the top four. According to Fabrizio Romano, posting on his WhatsApp channel, Roma were "surprised and irritated" by the coach's comments and consider the attack "fuori luogo", or out of place. The club's position is clear: "la qualificazione alla Champions della passata stagione è stata conquistata sul campo, senza alcun presunto aiuto arbitrale", meaning the qualification was won on the pitch, without any alleged refereeing help. The response has not come through an official statement but was relayed clearly after Allegri's words began circulating overnight, and the tone shows how much the remark irritated the club. Allegri had already shown his frustration before the cameras, saying he was too angry to analyse the match clearly and contesting the referee's decision to send him off. His private comment turned a protest about the officiating at Napoli-Roma into a wider dispute, reopening a wound Allegri evidently carries from last season. Roma, however, consider that qualification the result of their own route and their consistent form across the league, and do not intend to accept insinuations of any other kind.

Roma came from behind to earn a point at Napoli's Maradona stadium, with the Argentines at the centre of the story. Soulé produced the first moment of quality, before Balerdi scored a brace to rescue the draw. Afterwards, Santiago Castro, who came on after the break, shared his reaction on social media. He wrote: "A great demonstration of character from the whole team, let's keep going like this always." The post drew a playful response from Leonardo, who replied: "Thanks for the assist" and added a nose emoji. The joke refers to Balerdi's second goal, which came from a fortunate touch of the face by Castro. The exchange offered a lighter moment for Roma's Argentine contingent after a hard-fought result on the road. The comeback was built on Soulé's goal and Balerdi's two strikes, with Castro's contribution in the second half adding to the good mood in the camp.

Leonardo Balerdi earned the top rating in the Italian newspapers after scoring a brace that rescued Roma in their 3-3 draw at the Maradona. Matías Soulé was next best, with his goal starting the comeback and a performance full of quality. Molina also received a solid mark of 6.50. Among the players rated below par, Pisilli had the lowest average at 5.25, followed by Rensch on 5.50 and Hermoso and Malen on 5.58. Gasperini finished with an average of 6.60. The newspapers largely agreed on the key refereeing decisions in the Napoli 3-3 Roma match. Balerdi's first equaliser for the 2-2 was ruled valid, with Castro striking the ball with his face in the build-up. The final 3-3 also stood, as the contact between the Argentine and Beukema was judged too light to justify a penalty. Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport both gave Colombo 6.5, Il Messaggero awarded him a 6, and Il Romanista was harsher with a 5.5. Il Romanista's verdict on Colombo read: "He irritates everyone, but in the end he does not directly affect the result."

Roma came from behind to draw 3-3 at Napoli's Maradona stadium, their third consecutive draw in a big Serie A match after a goalless game at Como. Leonardo Balerdi, who came off the bench, scored a brace, while Matías Soulé was the standout performer in attack. The evening began badly for Roma, but the team refused to give up and fought back to level the match. Italian newspapers gave Soulé between 7 and 8 out of 10, and Balerdi between 7.5 and 8. Evan Ndicka was the only member of the starting defence to come out with credit, rated 6 to 7. Gollini earned 6 to 7, Cristante 6 to 7, and de Roon 5.5 to 6.5. Malen was below par and was rated between 5 and 6. Hermoso's marks ranged from 4.5 to 6.5. Wesley was rated between 5 and 6.5, and Mancini between 5.5 and 6.

At the 58th minute, Balerdi replaced Hermoso, Molina came on for Rensch, and Castro replaced Pisilli. Ghilardi entered for Mancini in the 83rd minute, and Mora came on for Malen at the same point. Molina was rated 6 to 6.5, Castro between 5 and 6.5, and Balerdi, as a substitute, was rated 7.5 to 8.

Gianluca Mancini has said Roma never give up, speaking in full after the Napoli-Roma clash, an Serie A matchday eight fixture. "This Roma doesn't give up. We never have. This season we always believe, against strong teams we have never been knocked down. We believed, today Molina, Ghilardi, Balerdi and the others who came on added extra quality, the team always stays active. We're happy." Mancini was asked how the newcomers have settled in. "We were missing a bit, they have all arrived strong and young. Balerdi has brought leadership, Molina and De Roon, everyone who has arrived has increased the value of the squad. Last year we missed that a bit. We give everything for this shirt to bring home the result." On Anguissa's goal, Mancini said: "Sometimes you get them, other times you don't. How the Anguissa goal came about, we could have managed the ball better. It's part of these matches. The important thing was not to let ourselves be knocked down. Given how the game had gone, a point is fine."
