Report: Five goals to round off pre-season as fans return


Roma rounded off their pre-season planning with an emphatic 5-0 victory over Raja Club Athletic on Saturday evening, in a game that saw fans return to the Stadio Olimpico for the first time since the pandemic.

Eldor Shomurodov, Gianluca Mancini, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Carles Perez and Borja Mayoral all got on the scoresheet, while there was also an impressive first performance from summer signing Matias Vina.

Mourinho's side now turn their attention to competitive action: they face Trabzonspor in the first game of their UEFA Europa Conference League campaign on Thursday.
