From the Allianz Stadium pitch, before kickoff, Frederic Massara spoke spoke to Sky Sport.
“This match serves to raise awareness of a path that’s started well. In our head-to-head matches so far, we haven’t achieved great results, with high-level performances. We’ll try to get something home tonight.”

Regarding the choice of Dybala from the start and the transfer market, the Giallorossi sporting director continued: “Dybala from the start is a tactical choice. We have Ferguson on the bench and Gasperini has chosen Paulo.”
“January? We know we’ll try to seize the opportunities on the transfer market.”
In 2025, Roma is the Italian team with the most points in Serie A. Massara commented to Sky Sport: “It makes us proud and validates the team’s caliber. The fact that we’ve managed to maintain the structure of a team that has done very well in the league is a good thing. With two coaches (Ranieri and Gasperini, ed.) with two different approaches. All these guys deserve a round of applause.”
On DAZN, the Giallorossi sporting director spoke again about the transfer market and Dybala: “The January transfer window isn’t easy, but it shouldn’t be an excuse. We’ll do everything we can to strengthen ourselves and find better solutions. I think the attacking department is the most sought-after.”

“If there are any interesting opportunities, I think that’s the first, or only, piece of the puzzle. Dybala’s last Juve-Roma match? It’s impossible to say right now. It’s a special evening for him, we expect a great evening for him.”
