Claudio Ranieri’s Roma have collected 26 points in the opening 10 league games of 2025, more than any other team in Europe’s top five leagues.

The Italian tactician was appointed in November to replace Ivan Juric.

Since Ranieri’s return to the Stadio Olimpico, the Giallorossi have climbed the table, earning 33 points in 16 league games, which is 2,06 points per game on average.

Their results in the new year are even more impressive. Not only Roma are still unbeaten in Serie A, but no team in Europe’s top five leagues has earned more points in league games since the beginning of 2025.

Roma have earned 26 points in 10 league matches this season. PSG, Bayern Munich and Liverpool have 25. PSG, however, have played nine league games this year, while Bayern have played 10 and Liverpool 11, one more than Roma.

The top 10 is completed by Strasbourg with 23 points in 10 games, OGC Nice, 2 points in 10 games, Bologna, 22 points in 11 games, Bayer Leverkusen, 21 points in 10 games, Inter with 21 points in 11 games and Juventus, 20 points in 10 games.
