Rich HallGUEST
It sounds a bit of an obvious one.
Rich HallGUEST
I've always had a soft spot for Rome and Stadio Olimpico since Italia 90, but a couple of them, two of the nicest that you probably wouldn't normally go to, Bologna is incredible.
Rich HallGUEST
Just the town itself is an old historical town and still got the old crooked towers there and the university town, but it's probably the best food in Europe bar Leon.
Rich HallGUEST
It's amazing.
Spencer AckermanGUEST
And Romo-Lazio matches.
Spencer AckermanGUEST
They play in the same stadium, which is the Olimpico, built by Mussolini.
Spencer AckermanGUEST
So like, this is an incredible thing, but like, I just bring this up to say, like, I was, you know, after, you know, hearing so much about this from this very good friend of mine, I was, you know, shocked and thrilled that it turned out to have some like practical application in team building for no one escapes the dialectic because we have an artist who's also a Roma fan who is deeply invested in, in not just this legacy, but this political struggle.
Spencer AckermanGUEST
So I love that too.
Euan RobertsonGUEST
But just even being the mixture for European football, the optimism was rock bottom going into the season.
Euan RobertsonGUEST
The fans are disillusioned with the ownership and they're boycotting games at the Stadio Olimpico.
Euan RobertsonGUEST
To contextualise that, I think their average attendance two seasons ago was above 40,000 this season it's below 10,000 in a recent away game they took 10,000 fans to an away game which is unheard of in Italian football so they are still supporting the team in Gattuso and the players they're not supporting the project so And that's with the backdrop of a financial crisis at the club where they're restricted in what they can do by fair play rules.
Euan RobertsonGUEST
Just to contextualise that, Stefan, they spent €22 million in the summer, which was the 15th highest spend of Serie A clubs.
James HorncastlePANELIST
We've talked about the environment around them.
James RichardsonHOST
Which doesn't seem the easiest when you're playing at the Stadio Olimpico, which is a capacity of, what, 80,000 or so, and there's 10,000 people turning up.
James RichardsonHOST
It's...
James RichardsonHOST
It's not ideal, as Gattuso himself has pointed out on more than one occasion.
James HorncastleGUEST
Um, I know Donyell Malen was a bit of a flop at Aston Villa, but he's scored more goals than any player in Europe's top five leagues since the turn of the year.
James HorncastleGUEST
Um, and yeah, this is a Roma team that were 3-1 up against Real Madrid at the Stadio Olimpico and, um, okay, they conceded three goals from corner kicks late on, but I think they feel that they can mix it with the best of the, best of them, let alone Manchester United.
David OrnsteinGUEST
It's really interesting that when you hear those who are well-placed to speak about build-up to Roma, like a Wayne Rooney, for example, uh, leaning into emotion and atmosphere and being galvanized to put on a performance and try and get a result, they're not talking about quality.
David OrnsteinGUEST
Man United, I'm afraid right now, don't look flush with that.
Alessandro ErimitiHOST
episode? I would love to know.
Alessandro ErimitiHOST
Let us know in the comments how... would you behave in case Lazio will celebrate their title at home at the Olimpico?
Lyés BouzidiHOST
This is probably the first team in the history of football that played better than their fans.
Lyés BouzidiHOST
Right, they don't have home support, but it's probably a
Nana AsarePANELIST
the Curva Sud.
Nana AsarePANELIST
So when, when you go to the Stadio Olimpico, um, the native, uh, Romans either support Lazio or AS Roma.
Kelvin Owusu-AntaHOST
AS Roma, yeah.
Nana AsarePANELIST
So the AS Roma fans are usually in the south, and the Lazio fans are usually, you know, gathered or they are clustered around the north.
Joe MolloyHOST
Today is a tribute to one of Ireland's greatest sports people and to a great person.
Joe MolloyHOST
It is hard to fathom, but just two years ago, Ciara McGeehan was the best 1500 metre runner in all of Europe on a glorious night at the Stadio Olimpico at the European Championships.

Kieran McGeehan, can she go? In front of her is Georgia Bell.
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In front of her is Gemma Ricci.
FermsHOST
He sells, but he doesn't, like, put that money back.
PalaHOST
What's the average attendance? Like, how bad is it at the Olympics? It's bad.
PalaHOST
They don't show up.
PalaHOST
But that's
Alex AlcazarHOST
But they found another way to win.
Alex AlcazarHOST
Lazio defeated Cagliari 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico, collecting 28 points from a possible 30 and moving three points clear at the top of the Serie A.
Alex AlcazarHOST
It is the first time Lazio has won 9 of their opening 10 matches in a Serie A season.
Alex AlcazarHOST
This was not their most comfortable performance and may have been one of their most revealing.
