US BILLIONAIRE and AS Roma president James Pallotta agreed to pay a fine and apologised to Rome mayor Virginia Raggi on Wednesday after jumping into a city centre fountain to celebrate his team’s trouncing of Barcelona that evening.
Surrounded by a crowd of flag-waving Roma fans, Pallotta performed a backward somersault in his dress shirt and trousers into a fountain in the Piazza del Popolo.
Pallotta was ecstatic after Roma surprised Barcelona with a 3-0 win Tuesday night to overturn a three-goal first-leg deficit in the Champions League quarterfinals.
