"It was crucial we got the job done," Bartoli said afterwards.

"We are delighted with this achievement - after four years we've finally managed to do it."

Coach Spugna added: "I am really pleased. It was our target and, at a certain point this season, we began to believe we could do it. The players have all been great, almost perfect, and to be able to achieve this is amazing."

The season is not over just yet, however; Roma finish the league season with a derby meeting against Lazio before heading into the Coppa Italia final to defend their title against league champions Juventus.

"Let's say we are still at the halfway point," Bartoli added.

"Now a new season starts for us with the games we've got coming up."
