In the Serie A clash between AS Roma and Napoli on the 8th matchday, AS Roma continued their impressive start to the season by securing their eighth victory in as many matches. Roma defeated Napoli 2-0, reaffirming their dominance in the league.
Looking ahead to another significant Serie A fixture, AC Milan faced Udinese on Saturday. Milan, currently struggling in the league and positioned twelfth in the standings, aimed to improve their performance. However, they faced challenges, particularly with the absence of striker Mario Balotelli, who was sidelined due to a right thigh injury following a three-match suspension. Balotelli’s availability for the upcoming Champions League clash against FC Barcelona was also uncertain.
