Roma’s 2-2 draw with Napoli felt like a defeat for many fans inside the Stadio Olimpico, who whistled and jeered the team in the warm up, as they entered the pitch and as they left it at full time. After going ahead through Marquinho, two goals in the second half put Roma behind to provoke yet more vocal dissent from the stands.

It has been nearly three years since Alberto Aquilani was sold by Roma to Liverpool, a difficult but perhaps a necessary decision for both the player and the Giallorossi. “I am a Roma fan and for me to leave my team was different than for any other player”, Aquilani said soon after arriving in England.
