Roma’s Troubles Deepen With 5-1 Fiorentina Loss As Current Players Add Fuel To The Fire

It was a tough night for Juric’s Roma, who suffered a crushing 5-1 defeat at the hands of Fiorentina at the Franchi Stadium. Fiorentina controlled the game from start to finish, deepening Roma’s ongoing struggles. The loss has hit the Giallorossi hard, with the team appearing disjointed on the pitch.

Former Lazio player Felipe Caicedo was among those who are particularly happy with the Giallorossi's defeat, posting five pear emojis on X to symbolize the five goals Roma conceded. Caicedo wasn’t the only one to react; Edoardo Bove’s agent also chimed in with a sarcastic comment. Bove, a former Roma youth player sold to Fiorentina over the summer, had an outstanding game against his old club, scoring, assisting, and earning a penalty, which earned him the Man of the Match title. His agent, Diego Tavano, shared a photo of Bove’s trophy, captioned "Eh già," a clear reference to Roma’s decision to part ways with the talented midfielder.

Adding to the drama, veteran players Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante, subbed out in the 32nd and 46th minutes, didn’t return to support their teammates from the sidelines, a choice that drew attention and sparked discussion across social media.
