Some guy named Donyell features heavily in this edition of four key figures.
On August 24, 2026, AS Roma secured their first win of the season with a 4-0 victory over ACF Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. The match was dominated by Roma's prolific duo of Donyell Malen and Paulo Dybala, who combined for all three goals. Malen's hat-trick surpassed Gabriel Batistuta's record of 15 league goals in his first 19 matches for Roma, setting a new club record.
