Roma president Rosella Sensi says last night's 2-1 win over Inter Milan was her greatest moment in charge.
The win puts them within a point of the leaders and they are no longer hiding their title ambitions.
"We deserve to be up there and I'll say no more. It was the perfect game with great players, Coach and the city," said the patron.
"It's all down to the lads, who were all fantastic this evening. Claudio Ranieri was immense as both a Coach and a man.
"We are up there because we earned our position and I hope our fans can follow us to Bari next weekend."
