The Special One did not hide his emotions when his team went ahead in added time and was seen getting emotional with Lukaku at the final whistle.

As shared on his Instagram story, the Portuguese manager took his celebration to his backroom staff and gifted new Adidas boots to four of them.

The former Chelsea boss also applauded the fans at the Stadio Olimpico for spurring the team to victory despite being behind in a game they should have won.

“I said it before, us winning this match was only made possible because of the connection with the fans. There is an incredible connection, even when we don’t play well, and that’s no coincidence,” he said via Roma Press.
