After the match, Pallotta found himself in a large courtyard with hundreds of Roma fans who were still on cloud nine after their win.
Rather than just stand among the fans and sing with the faithful supporters from the Stadio Olimpico, Pallotta was able to grab the attention by jumping into a fountain.
As soon as Pallotti was out the fans quickly marched onto their next destination. It appears having your club's president jump into the local fountain is quite the norm in the Italian capital.
Extravagant celebrations weren't just limited to Roma's president though. Immediately after the final whistle, there were surprising scenes of jubilation within the press box at the Stadio Olimpico.
A short video was released soon after the match had ended and it shows some of the worlds biggest names in football journalism in awe at what they had just witnessed on Tuesday.
