The 2018-19 campaign was a dramatic and turbulent year of transition for Roma as I Giallorossi ultimately finished 6th in Serie A, securing a coveted spot in the Europa League despite mid-season managerial upheaval. Leading the league scoring charge was the electric Stephan El Shaarawy, whose 11 crucial goals provided a key attacking spark, including a league-high five strikes in the opening 15 minutes of games. The season, which also saw the team reach the Champions League Round of 16, was built on flashes of attacking brilliance, notably with Edin Džeko topping the overall goal charts and veteran defender Aleksandar Kolarov netting an impressive eight league goals.
