Mancini to reach 71 career Roma games as captain | OneFootball

In a season that saw the likes of Lorenzo Pellegrini and Bryan Cristante come up short in performances, Gianluca Mancini came through for Roma.

The Italian defender will conclude this season as the undisputed captain of the Giallorossi as Lorenzo Pellegrini is out of action for the remainder of this campaign.

Mancini is proving to be the true captain of Roma. In Bergamo he led the team with the armband on his arm, defending hard on Retegui and trying until the end to keep the dream of Champions League alive.

Barring unforeseen events, Corriere dello Sport reports that Mancini will close the season with 21 appearances as captain, 72 in total in his career, surpassing Conti, Carboni and Ancelotti.

From Vlahovic to Lautaro, none of the forwards faced in the last month have scored against Roma: thanks also to the decisive work of Mancini, now untouchable for every coach who has passed through Trigoria.
