February may be the shortest month of the year, but we were treated to the full Roma experience over the past 28 days. After kicking off the month with a 1-0 loss to Udinese on the road, Roma rebounded with a Donyell Malen-inspired two-nil win over Cagliari, then took on Napoli the following weekend in a crucial six-pointer. Roma conceded an 82nd-minute equalizer, spoiling a potential upset at the Stadio Diego Maradona. However, despite that disappointing draw, Gasperini’s group was no worse for the wear last weekend, breezing past Cremonese in a 3-0 rout at the Olimpico.
Thanks to these efforts, Roma ended the month in 3rd place, even on points with Napoli. And with Antonio Conte’s crew taking care of business this weekend against Verona, Roma has a bit of catching up to do. While a win today will tie the club with Napoli for 3rd, it won’t be easy, as Roma will have to topple their historical nemesis, Juventus.
