Alessio Romagnoli admits \u2018it means so much to me\u2019 to score for his beloved Lazio in the Derby della Capitale against Roma. \u2018It really was coming home for me.\u2019<\/p>\n

The defender had gone close to opening the scoring in the first few minutes, but was denied by a sensational Mile Svilar save, although he doesn\u2019t necessarily view it that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t get that one properly, seeing it again, I could\u2019ve done better,\u201d Romagnoli told DAZN.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very good first half, we should\u2019ve done more after taking the lead, as we sat a bit too deep and lost our shape. After conceding the equaliser, we got back on track and created several big opportunities to win it.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, this is the derby, it is decided by incidents, so if you don\u2019t take those chances, then you don\u2019t win.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he eventually did break the deadlock by nodding in a Luca Pellegrini free kick, he rushed to the Curva Nord to celebrate with the ultras, then kissed the badge on his jersey.<\/p>\n

Both Romagnoli and Pellegrini were lifelong Lazio supporters, despite coming through the Roma youth academy, so scoring in the Derby della Capitale was extra special.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means so much to me, I always wanted to come to Lazio, because it really was coming home for me. After many years at Milan, this opportunity arose, and I needed to come back home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Biancocelesti are back in action on Thursday evening in the Europa League quarter-final, having lost the first leg 2-0 away to Bodo\/Glimt, so have it all to do at the Stadio Olimpico.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to go through and make up for the ugly performance in Norway. Fatigue does not exist, we\u2019ve got to give it everything to turn this around,\u201d concluded Romagnoli.<\/p>\n
