Roma return to Champions League after seven years

Seven years later, you're back

Roma have qualified for the Champions League. A top-four finish is secured on the final day of Serie A, ending a seven-year wait for Europe's biggest competition. Gian Piero Gasperini called it an "incredible achievement" after what he described as a difficult campaign (1). You go into the summer as a Champions League club.

Çelik wanted in Turkey

Zeki Çelik has received transfer offers from Turkish clubs, with interest emerging ahead of the summer window (3). No decision yet on whether Roma will entertain a sale for the defender.

Fan-reaktioner

The mood is celebratory. Paulo Dybala gave his MVP award to Stephan El Shaarawy after the final match, a gesture fans described as pure class. Plenty of love in the threads for El Shaarawy's second half of the season too, with supporters calling him a valuable squad presence they'd love to keep.
