Roma owner apologies and agrees to pay small fine for jumping in a downtown fountain
From ground-sharing and ownership battles to a return to the Premier League, the Sky Blues’ rise reflects the spirit of the city itself, writes DAVID CONWAY
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.
