AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia was delighted with Radja Nainggolan's performance in victory over Inter Milan.

Nainggolan has become a key figure for the Roma midfield since his arrival from Cagliari in January.

Garcia said: "I knew Radja, as in Lille we were very close to the Belgium border and I wondered why was he never called up? Considering we lost Strootman last season, we fortunately did not feel Kevin's absence too much thanks to Nainggolan."
