Roma edged Milan 3-2 in a thrilling affair at the San Siro in Paolo Maldini's final appearance in front of his home fans.
The 40-year-old defender will retire at the end of the season, but celebrations turned sour due to the unexpected defeat and a section of the stadium insulted the Diavoli captain after the final whistle and shouted Franco Baresi's name.
"If the fans offended Maldini, it means they do not love this sport and they should just stay at home," Roma boss Luciano Spalletti told Sky Italia.
"If someone insults Maldini, that's overstepping the boundaries."
This victory means that Roma have booked their place in next season's Europa League, as Palermo are now four points adrift with one game left to play.
"That's a good result if you consider what happened this season," said the tactician.
"This result shows the professionalism and seriousness of the lads. I have to give credit to them, as they have worked hard and I want to congratulate them on winning at such a difficult ground."
