The year 2025 is off to a good start for “romantic” fans, hardly spoiled since August: they saw their Roma outclass Lazio who were ahead of them by fifteen points in the standings at kick-off.
Target of the fans who whistle him copiously in every match and make him responsible for the torments of their club which has already dismissed two coaches, captain Lorenzo Pellegrini gave Roma the advantage in the 10th minute with a superb strike in the top corner . Alexis Saelemaekers doubled the lead eight minutes later and Lazio did not recover.
Despite this success, only his sixth of the season, Claudio Ranieri’s team remains stuck in 10th place (23 pts). At the end of the first leg, it was 21 points behind the new leader, Naples, winner of Fiorentina 3 to 0 on Saturday in the absence of Atalanta (2nd, 41 pts and one match in hand) and Inter (3rd, 40 pts and two matches in hand) mobilized by the Italian Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
The Lazio retains 4th place (35 pts), synonymous with the Champions League and Roma’s objective at the start of the season, but it is marking time with only one victory in its last four championship matches.
