Roma secured a crucial victory at the Olimpico against Udinese and temporarily moved to the top of the table with 24 points, awaiting Inter vs. Lazio.

Lorenzo Pellegrini broke the deadlock with a cool penalty, before Zeki Çelik doubled the lead.

After the match, Pellegrini spoke to the media, “Gasperini? For us, it’s an opportunity to work with him. This is a group that is willing to work and sacrifice.”

“It was important to win. We work hard and want to stay where we are as long as possible. Today we played an excellent match, not only in terms of quality but also in intensity, pressing, ball recovery, and physicality. We can be happy.”

“Celik? He’s an exceptional guy, he’s always been fantastic within the group. He’s an incredible worker and everyone loves him. When such beautiful and exciting days happen, today is his first goal at the Olimpico, us older players are doubly happy for him. I’m super happy because he deserves it.”
