The 2006-07 campaign delivered a glorious resurgence for Lazio, as the Biancocelesti, under manager Delio Rossi, surged to a spectacular 3rd-place finish in Serie A. This remarkable turnaround came despite the club starting the season with a 3-point deduction due to their involvement in the Calciopoli scandal. Leading the charge was captain Tommaso Rocchi, whose crucial 16 goals in the league fired the team into the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds. The season was defined by the squad's grit and resilience, culminating in a memorable 3-0 demolition of bitter rivals Roma in the Derby della Capitale, marking a pivotal chapter in the club's modern history.
