Gasperini enters Roma history with eight consecutive league wins, matching Spalletti's 2016 run

Source: GialloRossi.net

Gian Piero Gasperini has become the third Roma manager to achieve eight consecutive Serie A victories, joining Luciano Spalletti and Rudi Garcia in an exclusive club. The streak began on 18 April with a 1–1 draw against Atalanta, after which Roma won eight straight league matches. The most recent victory came on Saturday at the Olimpico, when Roma beat Atalanta 2–1 in a comeback.

The run spans two seasons. In the final stretch of the 2025–26 campaign, Roma defeated Bologna, Fiorentina, Parma, Lazio and Verona—victories that proved crucial in securing Champions League qualification when it had seemed improbable weeks earlier. This season has continued without loss: wins over Fiorentina, Lecce and Atalanta. Two of those eight victories came via late comebacks, at Parma and against Atalanta on Saturday. The article highlights this resilience as the defining characteristic of Gasperini's Roma: not only a team that wins when dominant, but one that refuses to surrender when matches turn against them and remains compact and attacking until the final whistle.

Historically, Spalletti reached eight consecutive wins in 2016 and went on to touch 11 in the 2005–06 season, while Rudi Garcia built two separate runs of 10 and 9 victories in the 2013–14 season. Roma are currently at full points and will return to Champions League action on Thursday against Fenerbahce. The article cautions against confusing early enthusiasm with long-term achievement: the season has only just begun, yet eight consecutive wins spanning months demonstrate that this period of success runs far deeper than the first three matchdays alone.

Gollini praises Roma's group and predicts a great career for Lulli

Pierluigi Gollini spoke to reporters after Roma's 9th-round Serie A win over Cagliari at the Stadio Olimpico, saying the points were heavy and keep the club in contention. The goalkeeper credited the squad for its depth and commitment. The Roma stopper said the team has played many matches and that it is normal to lose some sharpness at times, but that big teams find a way to win even when they are not playing their best. He said the group is giving a lot of answers and that everyone is always available, calling it a great credit that should be recognised. Asked whether he expected Lulli to be so strong, Gollini said: "We saw him in training camp and we thought he had great athleticism. Many times we have told him that the quality of his choices will determine his career. It will be up to him to learn to make the right choices. He has his head on his shoulders; every now and then I have to remind him to defend because he likes to attack, but he is super humble and he will have a great career." On whether his own performances are a response to doubters, Gollini said: "I have played little in recent years, but in training I see myself, and my teammates see me. Obviously football is a world that moves super fast; if you do nothing, it seems you are finished. Even though I have not played, I have always been in an environment of great level. I am happy to have had this chance now, even though we are sad for Mile. We have to keep going like this."
