Gini Wijnaldum replaced injured Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrin in last night’s win with Real Sociedad at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.
The Dutch midfielder continues to receive more playing time after returning to Mourinho’s full disposal over a month ago.
Following the match, Wijnaldum celebrated the crucial victory with a post on Instagram.
“The best way to start the Round of 16 first leg. On to the second. Daje Roma Daje!”
