Roma claimed their perfect start to the Serie A season with a 2-0 away victory at Torino on 14 September, goals from Donyell Malen and Niccolò Pisilli securing three points under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The win maintained the Giallorossi's 100% record from their opening league fixtures.

Gasperini deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation for the trip north. Mile Svilar started in goal, with Gianluca Mancini, Mario Hermoso and Leonardo Balerdi forming the defensive line. Emanuele Lulli operated at right-back and Bryan Cristante in midfield, alongside Pisilli, while Nahuel Molina defended on the left. Matías Soulé was preferred to Rodrigo Mora in the forward line, completing an attacking unit that included Paulo Dybala and Malen. The match was refereed by Maresca, with VAR overseen by Aureliano and Ghersini.

TeleRadioStereo had reported pre-match uncertainty over several positions, particularly the right flank and midfield after Manu Koné picked up a knee problem in the Champions League, though Lulli was marginally favoured for the right-back role. With Gasperini managing squad rotation following European action in Istanbul, the midfield pairing of Cristante and Pisilli eventually prevailed, and Roma's attacking setup delivered the goals required to extend their winning streak at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Balerdi wins Roma hearts after Torino display, compared to Maldini

Leonardo Balerdi was among the standout performers in Roma's victory at Torino. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini praised the Argentine defender in his post-match press conference, drawing a comparison to Franco Baresi for certain qualities of his play. Roma supporters on social media have responded enthusiastically, flooding Balerdi's posts with comments including "Protect me everywhere" and "Our wall", alongside images of Paolo Maldini wearing the Milan captain's armband — a comparison that may be tongue-in-cheek, or perhaps not. The former Marseille player is establishing himself as a commanding force in Roma's defence, and Gasperini will find it increasingly difficult to leave him out of the team after another flawless performance. Balerdi's strong showing has cemented his growing importance to the backline and the confidence Roma's fanbase is placing in the 24-year-old's contribution to the side.
