Second success in a week for the Romewhich eliminates the Milan and flies to the semi-finals of the Europa League. A victory signed by the usual Mancini and Dybala: the match against Pioli’s team, in fact, was decided in the crazy first half at the Olimpico, which Roma unlocked with the defender and controlled with the second, except for losing some certainties with the Celik’s sending off on the half hour. The final attacks of Pioli’s team, which changes formation several times but does not achieve much, only lead to Gabbia’s flag-winning goal.
Leao and Theo Hernandez still score, even if it is the scorer himself who encounters a very difficult evening: he loses the duel with Lukaku and with his clearance delivers the ball to Dybala on the occasion of the Giallorossi’s encore. Musah and Calabria are saved, as well as Chukwueze, who enters with the right attitude and creates several dangers for the opponent’s goal.
“Very disappointing. – As Stefano Pioli commented on the elimination from tonight’s Europa League – We played neither of the two matches at our level. And if you don’t have the necessary quality and determination, you come out defeated. We are disappointed, disappointed because the Europa League was our goal, because we did worse than last year in Europe, because we didn’t play at our level. We have to react, we have a game that is too important for the championship finale and for our fans.”
