The season was notable for being club legend and veteran Francesco Totti's 24th and last, as his retirement as a Roma player was confirmed shortly before the last match of the season against Genoa. In addition, Bosnian striker Edin Džeko won the prestigious top scorer award in Serie A, the capocannoniere, with 29 goals, becoming the first Roma player in a decade to win the award. He also won the top scorer award in the Europa League with eight goals, tied with Zenit Saint Petersburg striker Giuliano.
