Roma credit belief and insist want to ‘do even better this season’

Roma credit belief and insist want to ‘do even better this season’ Matias Soulé and Mario Hermoso said Roma ‘believed to the end’ in their turnaround victory over Atalanta and won’t shy away from Scudetto talk. ‘We want to do even better.’ It was another dramatic turnaround in Serie A today, as the Giallorossi had been trailing to the Ederson goal that came very much against the run of play. Santiago Castro was frustrated at hitting the woodwork twice, and Marco Carnesecchi made several big saves, but they finally made all the pressure count in added time with the Hermoso looping header on a corner and Soulé drilling into the near bottom corner.

We want to win, it was a home match and our fans gave us strength, so we are happy,” Hermoso told Sky Sport Italia. “My goal was the equaliser, and it gave us all the realisation we could go on and win it.” ROME, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 05: Matias Soule of Roma celebrates scoring his team’s second goal during the Serie A match between AS Roma and Atalanta BC at Stadio Olimpico on September 05, 2026 in Rome, Italy.

I thought we dominated the game from start to finish, and eventually got the points that we deserved.” ROME, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 05: Santiago Castro of Roma celebrates with teammates after the Serie A match between AS Roma and Atalanta BC at Stadio Olimpico on September 05, 2026 in Rome, Italy.

We earned our Champions League place last season and want to do even better this term, this side never says die.”
