Roma stadium commissioner Sessa expresses cautious optimism after first service conference

Roma have reportedly reacted with surprise and irritation to comments from Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri after the 3-3 draw between the two sides. Allegri's remarks, which suggested favourable refereeing decisions in the race for Champions League qualification, have been at the centre of the debate, and the Roman club considered the attack out of place. According to journalist Nicolò Schira, Roma view the remarks as inappropriate. The club's position is reportedly clear: qualification for last season's Champions League was earned on the pitch, through results achieved over the course of the league campaign, with no alleged refereeing assistance. Schira's account also refers to Milan, who lost at home to Cagliari in the final round of last season's Serie A, a result cited in the context of the European qualification race to support the view that Roma reached their goal through results on the field. The club's stance, as reported, is that the accusations of refereeing favours have no basis, and that the qualification achieved last season belongs to Roma's own performances in the league.

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.

Roma midfielder Niccolò Pisilli and defender Daniele Ghilardi enjoyed a relaxed post-match moment after the game against Napoli at the Maradona, sharing a pizza outside the stadium, a scene captured in a video posted on social media. The pair were first held up by stadium staff, who initially refused to let their families come down to embrace them. A brief dispute broke out with a security steward, who explained that the players could not be allowed down from the barriers. The alarm was eventually defused, and the two Giallorossi were able to unwind outside the Maradona after the Napoli-Roma fixture. The pizza was a familiar ritual, as Pisilli often takes one after matches against Napoli. The video shows the tender side of the post-match routine, with the pair reunited with friends and relatives once the stadium issue was resolved. The moment offers a glimpse of life away from the pitch for two players who came through the club's ranks.
