Roma fielded a second-string side, but were humiliated 4-1 away to Celta Vigo in their final pre-season friendly.
Coach Eusebio Di Francesco concluded the mini-tour of Spain with massive changes just two days after their 2-1 defeat to Sevilla.
It was a truly disastrous start to the match at the Estadio Balaidos, as Lukasz Skorupski was kept busy by Guidetti, then Federico Fazio’s double howler saw him bring down Guidetti for a penalty converted by Iago Aspas.
Roma fielded a second-string side, but were humiliated 4-1 away to Celta Vigo in their final pre-season friendly.
Coach Eusebio Di Francesco concluded the mini-tour of Spain with massive changes just two days after their 2-1 defeat to Sevilla.
It was a truly disastrous start to the match at the Estadio Balaidos, as Lukasz Skorupski was kept busy by Guidetti, then Federico Fazio’s double howler saw him bring down Guidetti for a penalty converted by Iago Aspas.
Pione Sisto took centre-stage with two goals in five minutes, first dribbling away from two midfielders to unleash an absolute screamer, then making the most of a Bruno Peres error to spring the offside trap.
Aspas also completed his brace, finding a gap in the leaky Roma defence to tap in a low drive.
Di Francesco made more adjustments after the break and did get one back when Radja Nainggolan won back possession and Edin Dzeko knocked it down for Kevin Strootman’s stop and strike.
Goalkeeper Alisson had to prevent a fifth Celta Vigo goal with his save on Iago Aspas.
