For over two years, Roma fans hadn't witnessed their team score two goals in injury time—until Saturday night at the Stadio Ennio Tardini. The Giallorossi pulled off a stunning 3-2 comeback against Parma, scoring twice in stoppage time to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It was a statement performance that sent a clear message to the rest of Serie A: anyone dreaming of Champions League football next season will have to reckon with this resurgent Roma side.

The match was a rollercoaster from start to finish. Parma looked set to hold on for a famous win, but Roma had other plans. Goals from Rensch and Malen deep into added time completed a remarkable turnaround, marking the first time since November 5, 2023, that Roma scored twice after the 90th minute in a Serie A match. Back then, it was Azmoun and Lukaku against Lecce, with José Mourinho on the bench—a different era entirely for the club.

This victory also extended Roma's unbeaten league run to five matches under Gian Piero Gasperini (four wins and one draw), the longest such streak of his tenure in the Italian capital. The team's attacking form has been particularly impressive: with their three-goal haul at the Tardini, Roma have now found the net in 13 consecutive Serie A games for the first time since a 22-match run between December 2024 and May 2025 under Claudio Ranieri.

For a side that has often struggled to close out tight games, this late show of resilience is exactly the kind of momentum-builder that fuels a Champions League push. Gasperini's men are proving they have the grit and firepower to compete with the best—and they're just getting started.
