He said: "I may be bitter, but I will not forget that in the two months when Inter had the most difficulties, they won the way everyone saw…

"I did not want to say this before the last game because I didn't like to further charge up the decisive Sunday, but those are my views on this season."

Inter midfielder Dejan Stankovic praised Roma for their season yesterday, but De Rossi was having none of it.

He snapped: "I thank Stankovic, but it's easy to give compliments when you win. It's more difficult for me to compliment them, especially with the way they won it."
