Fabio Capello identifies Roma as title contender against Inter

Former manager Fabio Capello believes Roma can challenge Inter for the Serie A title this season after observing the team's proactive style and depth. Roma currently shares the top of the standings with Inter, both holding nine points through the opening three matches. The team secured a 2-1 victory over Atalanta at the Stadio Olimpico on September 5, with late goals from Mario Hermoso and Matias Soulé providing the difference. Capello highlighted the contribution of substitutes and the consistency of players like Paulo Dybala as evidence of a competitive squad under head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. Roma now shifts focus to European competition for its 2026-27 Champions League debut against Fenerbahce in Istanbul on Thursday. Following the away fixture in Turkey, the club will return to league play to face Torino on September 14.
