While the rest of the footballing world was up in arms over the Europe Super League announcement and the controversy that s sure to ensue over the coming weeks and months, Roma had a seemingly easy fixture on their plates: a venture northward to face 17th place Torino. Andrea Belotti and friends may have been a surprising relegation battler, but they were fighting the drop all the same.
With a third-minute goal from Borja Mayoral that withstood a VAR challenge, things started off well enough for Roma but that would be the extent of the good news for the Giallorosse yesterday in Torino. The remaining 87 minutes saw shaky defending, hasty challenges, missed attempts, and Roma going down to 10 men after Amadou Diawara drew two yellow cards in roughly 20 minutes.
