    AS Roma Are the Only Undefeated Team Left in Italy

    While we have seen the “new” Juventus under Antonio Conte lose from time to time (not much really), it’s rare to see them collapsing as they did in the 4-2 loss against Fiorentina, which makes Roma the only team still undefeated in the Serie A, not to mention perfect, alone in that manner compared to the rest of Europe.
