"I can only say I saw a great Roma today. That's what I told my players in the locker room," Roma manager Jose Mourinho said as he reacted to their defeat to Juventus.
"Obviously, we are talking about a defeat and zero points, but all I can say is that was a great Roma in every respect. Congratulations for the organisation, the hard work, those who played despite some physical difficulties, missing players through international duty.
"I saw courage, confidence, belief. Obviously, the defeat will always be a defeat, but if I look at the project, that means looking at the growth of the team over time.
