The 2011-12 campaign was a season of profound cultural and tactical change for Roma, as the new American ownership brought in manager Luis Enrique to implement a revolutionary, possession-based style. I Giallorossi ultimately finished a disappointing 7th in Serie A and suffered a shock early exit from the Europa League. Despite the turbulence of this transitional year, the side was spearheaded by the flair and finishing of Dani Osvaldo, whose 11 league goals led the team, and the continued, magnificent presence of club icon and captain Francesco Totti. It was a foundational season, marked by flashes of brilliance and the emergence of talents like Miralem Pjanić, providing a mix of frustration and great hope for the Giallorossi faithful.
