Roma coach Jose Mourinho was left "proud" of his players after defeat to Inter Milan.
Roma lost 2-0 on the day in a tense game.
Mourinho said, I told them that I felt incredibly proud for all they had done, the effort of those who were fatigued, who played with one leg, who played with an intercostal fracture and pain-killing injections, the kids who gave their contribution and then a stadium that is absolutely incredible. These lads have been able to build something fantastic with these fans.
You know me, a defeat is always hard for me to swallow, but I go home with immense pride in my heart. They have the day off tomorrow, I will be at the youth team and then we start work again."
He added, Today we played against the best team in Italy, who are in the Champions League semi-final, my players are exhausted. Mancio, Lorenzo, Cristante, they play all the time. I tell you, when I arrived Bove was going out on loan to Triestina and yet today he started against Inter. That makes me happy."
