Roma get the Paulo Dybala injury news they needed vs. Juventus

Matches between Serie A powerhouses Juventus and Roma are always a big deal, but they mean even more nowadays because of the history between current Roma superstar Paulo Dybala and the Bianconeri, as well as the fact that both clubs are competing evenly for European spots. The Argentinian "jewel" Dybala has been held back by injuries a bit in the 2025/26 season again, and after recovering from hamstring issues, he has most recently missed a handful of matches with knee problems. Angelo Mangiante of Sky Sport Italia now reports that Dybala was able to test OK on Friday, practicing with his Roma teammates and has the green light to play against the Bianconeri on Sunday in the biggest Serie A matchup of the weekend. Meanwhile, the other left-footed star right winger/playmaker at Roma...

Paulo Dybala in talks with another club amidst Roma’s renewal attempts

Paulo Dybala could be the latest big name to leave European football to end his career, as transfer insider Matteo Moretto is reporting that the legendary Serie A forward is in talks with Argentinian giants Boca Juniors for a free agent move this June, even as his current club Roma are "evaluating" a contract renewal offer. A star for Palermo and Juventus in his peak years, Dybala was still a Serie A MVP level player at Roma, having moved from the Bianconeri to the Giallorossi a few years ago after the Old Lady deemed him injury-prone and finish. Dybala took Roma to European finals under Jose Mourinho, and even at the age of 32 and with Father Time truly starting to show, Dybala remains one of the best central playmakers in Serie A with 2.4 key passes and 1.5 fouls drawn per game acr...

Ranking the 25 best Serie A players of the 2025/26 season so far

Briefly, Serie A was bucking the trend of being a league known for its top-notch defensive quality by having high-scoring games and open play, but that period has ended almost as quickly as it began. Although there are a few attacking standouts in Serie A these days like Lautaro Martinez and Nico Paz, the best players in the league right now are defenders. The Italian top flight, pound for pound, has the best central defenders and goalkeepers, and these players make up the majority of the list of the best footballers in the league in the 2025/26 season. Here are the top 25 players of the current campaign thus far, and while Inter Milan predictably dominate the rankings, the rest of the spread is pretty even among the other European contenders in Calcio. 25.

Ranking the 15 best goalkeepers in world football in 2026

You would think the goalkeeper position would be the easiest to evaluate on the football pitch, because, well, goalkeepers are more stationary than other players and can be largely evaluated on how successful they are at stopping the other team from scoring. But it isn't really that simple. Although goalkeepers are primarily asked to make saves, ask any Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur fan how much having a goalkeeper who does not command the box well or makes basic errors in possession can totally destroy your team's sense of stability.

Finally, there is the mat...
