Two ultras arrested after clashes at Roma vs Slovan Bratislava

Source: Forza Roma

Two travelling supporters have been arrested after clashes in the away section of the Stadio Olimpico during Roma's match against Slovan Bratislava. Police moved in after fans of the Slovak side, together with Polish ultras, broke through a safety cordon in the second half and moved towards Roma supporters in the Curva Nord. The Questura di Roma said that shortly after the restart, tension broke out within the away section, generated by the Polish element of the travelling support, which passed the line of stewards separating it from the home fans and began throwing objects in their direction.

Police reinforcements were needed to restore order inside the stadium. After about 20 minutes, they had restored conditions in the away section. In the hours that followed, investigations launched immediately by the Digos, the police anti-terrorism and stadium unit, led to the identification and arrest of two supporters for so-called stadium offences, one of Slovak nationality and one of Polish nationality. A DASPO banning order from the Questore di Roma is due to be imposed on both men in the coming hours.

Investigators from the Digos in Rome are continuing their inquiries to identify other members of the visiting support involved in the disorder inside the away section. The Questura's statement read: "Shortly after the start of the second half of the match, within the away section, there were nonetheless moments of tension generated by the Polish component of the supporters, who, passing the line of stewards responsible for protecting the boundary line with the separators that delimit the adjacent section assigned to the local supporters, began throwing objects in their direction. In order to restore order within the sports facility, it was necessary to deploy contingents of the public security forces, who, after about 20 minutes, restored the liveable conditions of the away section. Following the events, in the hours that followed, the investigative activities launched immediately by the Digos made it possible to trace and arrest for so-called 'stadium' offences two supporters, one of Slovak nationality and the other of Polish nationality. A DASPO from the Questore di Roma will be imposed on the two arrested fans in the coming hours, while further investigative enquiries are under way by the Rome Digos to identify other individuals linked to the visiting support who were involved in the incidents of misconduct within the away section."

Roma beat Slovan Bratislava 4-0 at the Stadio Olimpico, their first win of the Champions League league phase. Mario Hermoso headed the opener, Molina made it 2-0, and Pisilli scored twice in the second half, with Donyell Malen starring in attack. Forza Roma's ratings gave Malen 7.5 and Pisilli 7, and noted that Ghilardi had a goal ruled out for offside late on. Gasperini praised the rotated side's response and said the win allowed him to widen his pool of starters, but he warned that Pellegrini is out. Forza Roma calls the injury muscular, and Gasperini expects a 20-day layoff.

The night was overshadowed by disorder in the away section. Police reinforcements were needed after fans in the Slovak section and Polish ultras breached a cordon early in the second half. The Questura di Roma said the Polish element threw objects toward the home fans, and order took about 20 minutes to restore. Two supporters, one Slovak and one Polish, were arrested, and DASPO bans are expected. Forza Roma also reports a clash between Slovan ultras and police in which one officer was injured. Roma News says 200 of roughly 2,000 away fans have been identified so far, including 150 Polish ultras it considers high risk.

Roma now face away trips to Manchester United and PSG. Gasperini described both as exceptional tests, and Il Messaggero reports that Roma's Champions League campaign opened with a draw at Fenerbahçe before the defeat to Real Madrid.

Mancini reaches 250 Serie A appearances for Roma

Gianluca Mancini made his 250th Serie A appearance for Roma in the 9th matchday fixture against Cagliari. The milestone makes him the first defender to reach 250 Serie A appearances in the giallorossi shirt in the three-points-for-a-win era, which began in 1994-95. Mancini, a Tuscan centre-back, has been with the club since July 2019, as per the club's squad records. Reaching the mark on home soil against Cagliari underlines his long service and consistency in the Roma defence under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. The record is the club's own benchmark for defenders in the modern league format, and it places Mancini at the top of that list for the Roman side. Roma remain focused on building momentum in the domestic campaign.

Giallini on balancing set filming with Roma matches, and the Perfetti sconosciuti anecdote

Actor Marco Giallini, a well-known Roma fan, has described how he juggled filming commitments with his club's matches, telling the podcast Nonlofaccioxmoda that when Roma were playing, filming simply did not happen. Asked by interviewer Giulia Salemi how he managed to reconcile set commitments with Giallorossi fixtures, he answered without hesitation: "No, e chi gira!" ("No way, who's filming?"). Giallini recalled an episode during the shooting of the film Perfetti sconosciuti. Several members of the crew were rival supporters, including the director of photography and Paolo Genovese. Giallini and Mastandrea were watching the match, but their friends were ahead by 30 seconds because they were watching on television, while Giallini and Mastandrea were following it on a computer. The film needed a goal to progress, and the rivalry on set became heated. Giallini said: "Ao, aspetta un attimo!" when the crew called them back to shoot. He then continued: "Dovevamo fare un gol per passare il turno e a un certo punto sento uno dei due amici dire: 'No, fagliela guardare'." The remark immediately told him how the match would end. "E lì ho pensato: 'Non vengo più, me ne vado'. Me ne volevo andare. Io e Mastandrea ce ne siamo andati. È stata la cosa più brutta che ho ricevuto da due amici fraterni." The episode ended with the crew calling them back: "Ma dove andate? Stiamo girando un filmone!" ("Where are you going? We're shooting a great film!").

Wesley under the spotlight again over cash, supercars and social media posts

Il Messaggero has published a further look at the social media habits of Roma winger Wesley, focusing on displays of wealth, luxury cars and controversial episodes from his time at Flamengo, days after his wife Amanda Martins announced their separation on social media and accused him of repeated infidelity. The newspaper highlights one of the player's recent TikTok posts, showing stacks of 50-euro banknotes and two luxury watches placed in front of a gaming setup. The images drew attention from users and raised questions about publicly displaying high-value items. Il Messaggero notes that it is not known whether the banknotes shown are genuine or replicas. The newspaper also points to the security risks such displays could carry. In September 2025, thieves reportedly tried to break into the player's villa. In early October, Wesley showed his car collection on social media, and a few days later he was photographed behind the wheel of his Lamborghini at Ponte Milvio. Earlier content had also drawn interest over the summer, including a July video in which the Brazilian showed his wife virtual accessories he had bought for a video game, among them a digital knife costing more than 2,000 euros. Il Messaggero also revisits earlier incidents from his time in Brazil. In March 2024, while playing for Flamengo, Wesley was reported to police by a businessman over an alleged assault at a beach kiosk. The player rejected the accusation and gave a different account of the episode. In August of the same year, a video showing him at a nightclub after a defeat to Botafogo caused controversy. The report comes the day after Amanda Martins's harsh outburst on social media, in which she announced the separation and accused her husband of repeated infidelity. Those accusations are her version of events and have not been established as fact. The newspaper's main question is whether these off-pitch matters could in future affect Wesley's performances on the field. That remains a concern rather than an established consequence, as the Brazilian continues to be an important asset for Gasperini's Roma.
