Player to watch: Leandro Paredes
Leandro Paredes may not be the most creative player on the pitch nor the man most likely to get a goal for Roma, but he has something that is going to be so key over these final five matches – a heart. Paredes is an old-school, tireless midfielder, and as everyone else in the league is winding down for the offseason, the Argentinian is still at 100%.
