Roma dropped out of Serie A's Champions League places on Sunday after falling to a shock 4-3 home defeat to Sassuolo.
Even though the Argentina forward did crash in his team's second in the 50th minute there was no stopping Sassuolo. Roma were forced to bring on Dybala, being rested ahead of the trip to Real Sociedad in the Europa League last 16 on Thursday. Roma were without the suspended Jose Mourinho and had to play the entire second half a man down after Marash Kumbulla was sent off for kicking Berardi and conceding the spot-kick from which the Italy international gave Sassuolo a two-goal half-time lead.

The rivals for the top four did not perform particularly well this weekend as Atalanta lost against Napoli, Inter lost to Spezia and Lazio drew at Bologna. Mourinho's absence against Sassuolo might have affected the squad as also Marash Kumbulla was sent off after he kicked striker Domenico Berardi in what was another lack of composure, all of which is starting to cost them. The Giallorossi, under Jose Mourinho, won last year's edition of the UEFA Conference League and this season are in good shape to get into the quarterfinals of the Europa League, which could be another route towards UCL qualification if they win the cup.

Roma has lost 4-3 at home to Sassuolo in a miserable weekend for teams chasing the Champions League qualifying spots from Serie A.
Davide Frattesi’s shot was charged down by Chris Smalling, then Pinamonti’s effort was parried by goalkeeper Rui Patrício but Laurienté tapped in the rebound. The home side was looking to move level with Inter in second and almost took the lead with less than two minutes on the clock as Wijnaldum was sent clear but he fired straight at Sassuolo goalkeeper Andrea Consigli. Armand Laurienté scored twice for Sassuolo before Nicola Zalewski pulled one back.
