Lazio star Hernanes has revealed that last Sunday’s “unforgettable” Coppa Italia title win against Roma was “the most beautiful moment” of his career.

The Biancocelesti beat their arch-rivals 1-0 at Stadio Olimpico last weekend, in which Hernanes played all 90 minutes.

The Brazil international has admitted that he is still beaming from the result, especially as Lazio overcame neighbours Roma.

He told Corriere dello Sport: “I’m still happy and I think I will be for quite a while. It really was an unforgettable day.

“It’s hard to explain the emotion I felt at the final whistle. We wanted it so badly, and luckily we won.

“People who do not live in Rome cannot understand how important that match was.

“For both teams it was the last chance to win a trophy, and thankfully we managed to win it.

“It was something really special, probably the most beautiful moment of my career.”

The playmaker also commented on his future at Lazio, having been linked with a number of top European clubs recently.

“There is no problem with my contract,” Hernanes added. “We have had a chat and there is nothing to worry about.

“I feel great at Lazio. I can assure that rumours of my departure are not true.”

Lazio have qualified for next season’s Europa League competition following the narrow title victory.
