As fans look ahead to the second Derby Della Capitale of the season, Giallorossi Yorkshire wants you to get involved in the discussion.
In preparation for Saturday's showdown with arch enemies Lazio, it's time to reflect on Derbies of the past. This fixture always brings a unique mix of nerves, excitement and drama. But what has been your favourite Derby Della Capitale memory down the years? Read my choice below, then leave a comment with your answer to share your own memories. What has been your favourite Derby Della Capitale memory? The match I recall most when thinking about the Derby Della Capitale is the 4-1 win from the 2015-16 season. It's always a great feeling to win the Derby, but often the games tend to be more cagey than we'd like to admit. However, this game was different. It was a great performance and a huge win - Roma's biggest victory in the Derby in 14 years. That made it even more special than an ordinary win. Roma had such a great team that year - players like Mohamed Salah, Miralem Pjanic, Radja Nainggolan, Antonio Rudiger. The game started positively with Stephan El Shaarawy opening the scoring inside a quarter of an hour. Edin Dzeko doubled the lead in the second half, before Marco Parolo pulled one back for Lazio. Shortly after, came one of the most beautiful goals I have seen from a Roma player. As the ball was headed out from a Roma corner, it fell into the path of Alessandro Florenzi. Captain for the day, he smashed home a volley across the goal from outside the box. The passion in his celebration was a joy to behold. It was his first ever goal against Lazio. Scoring a decisive goal for the team you support against their biggest rivals, wearing the captain's armband - who doesn't dream of that? Diego Perotti rounded out the scoring to make it 4-1, with then-Lazio boss Stefano Pioli losing his job that very night. It was one of Roma's most emphatic wins against their rivals in recent years. You never need to be reminded just how important the Derby is, but the emotion seen by all - especially in Florenzi - made that victory particularly memorable. Now, it's over to you.
