Roma star Alessandro Florenzi has revealed that he flew to the stands to celebrate with his grandmother after his goal on Sunday as she had never visited the Olimpico before, but did tell him that he would score should she make an appearance.

The 23 year old netted in his sides 2-0 victory over Cagliari, and duly went to the stands to hug his grandmother in celebration, in which he also received a yellow card.

“She had never come to the stadium and after the game for the Azzurri, she told me that she would come to the stadium and I would score,” Florenzi explained to Sky Sport Italia.

“My family has handed me this passion [for football], I wanted to share my joy with everyone but I hope it remains in the stadium and they don’t go into her personal life as she is of a certain age.”
