Under Pallotta’s leadership as club president Roma finished as Serie A runners-up three times and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2018 via a famous comeback victory over Barcelona. Pallotta had to pay a fine after jumping in one of Rome’s historic fountains during the celebrations.
