Cardiff City ended their pre-season preparations in style, thrashing Serie A side AS Roma 4-1 in their final warm-up fixture, according to BBC News.
The Bluebirds, who will begin their new Championship campaign shortly, put on an impressive display against the Italian giants, a result that will give manager and supporters plenty of confidence heading into the new season.
While friendly results are rarely a true indicator of what's to come once competitive action begins, a four-goal haul against a club of Roma's stature is a notable statement for a team preparing for life in the English second tier.
Details on the goalscorers and match specifics were not extensively covered, but the scoreline alone marks one of the more eye-catching pre-season results in England this summer.
Cardiff will now shift their focus to the Championship opener, hoping to carry the momentum from this pre-season victory into competitive fixtures as they look to build on last season's campaign.
