Roma 2-2 Inter: Are the Giallorossi Real Scudetto Contenders?
Roma came agonizingly close to making a major Scudetto statement at the Stadio Olimpico, surrendering a two-goal lead in a dramatic 2-2 draw with Inter.
We break down Roma’s breathtaking first half, Manu Koné’s brilliant brace and the tactical aggression that completely overwhelmed the reigning champions. We also examine the second-half collapse, Gian Piero Gasperini’s controversial substitutions, Mile Svilar’s excellence and the Donyell Malen chance that could have ended the contest.
Despite the disappointment, the underlying numbers reveal how dramatically Roma have improved. The Giallorossi have scored 14 goals through five Serie A matches—compared with only five at the same stage last season—and their expected goals, shot production and conversion rate have all risen sharply.
Was this a painful opportunity wasted, or proof that Roma are genuine Scudetto contenders?
Topics include:
Roma’s dominant opening hour against Inter
Manu Koné’s two-goal masterclass
Why Roma keep struggling immediately after halftime
Gasperini’s substitutions and the loss of midfield control
Malen’s decisive missed opportunity
Roma’s statistical transformation
Whether the Giallorossi can challenge Inter for the title

Four From Four: Malen Fires Roma Past Torino
Roma’s perfect Serie A start continues with a 2-0 victory over Torino and a ninth consecutive league win stretching back to last season.
In this episode, we break down Donyell Malen’s relentless scoring form, Paulo Dybala’s world-class creativity, Emanuele Lulli’s emergence and Leonardo Balerdi’s impressive first start. We also discuss Niccolò Pisilli’s late goal, Mile Svilar’s decisive save and the tactical imbalance created by playing Matias Soulé on the left.
It wasn’t Roma’s most polished performance—particularly during a sloppy second half—but winning difficult matches after a demanding Champions League trip is another encouraging sign of this team’s development under Gian Piero Gasperini.
Roma are four from four. Next comes the biggest test yet: Inter at the Stadio Olimpico.
