On the eve of the 17th round of Serie A, "Roma" decisively defeated "Parma" at home, scoring 5 unanswered goals. Ukrainian forward Artem Dovbik started for the "Wolves," played the entire match, and managed to record a goal and an assist. In doing so, Dovbik matched the achievement of Real Madrid's forward Kylian Mbappe in terms of productivity in the top 5 leagues, as reported by Opta.
The French forward has scored against 22 clubs in the Spanish and French leagues while playing for "Real" and "PSG," respectively. In contrast, Dovbik's goal against "Parma" became his 20th during his time with "Girona" and "Roma" – while with the Catalans, the Ukrainian found the net against 15 La Liga teams, and in the colors of the Romans, he has already troubled 5 Serie A squads. The most prolific matches for Dovbik were against "Granada," "Betis," and "Sevilla," where he netted three goals each.
Recall that the 27-year-old Ukrainian joined "Roma" from "Girona" in August 2024 for a fee of €30.5 million. Last season, Dovbik scored 24 goals for the Catalan club, becoming the holder of the Pichichi trophy (the top scorer in the Spanish league). In the current campaign, he has played 22 matches for the Romans across all competitions, scoring 9 goals and providing 2 assists. Transfermarkt values the Ukrainian at €30 million.
After the victory over "Parma," "Roma" climbed to 10th place in the standings, accumulating 19 points.
