Lorenzo Pellegrini, Roma's midfielder, considered this Thursday that Sevilla, who defeated the capital 2-0 and eliminated him in the eighth final of the Europa League, “He played a great game and deserved to win”.
He Sevilla beat Rome with authority in the match played in Duisburg (Germany) against Roma and he entered the quarterfinals of the Europa League with goals from Sergio Reguilón (m.22) and Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri (m.44).
“They played a great game. They deserved to win and it is correct. We are disappointed, very angry. At this time it is better to reflect and not talk,” Pellegrini, vice captain of Rome, said in statements to “Sky Sport” television.
“We prepared the game as we did in Serie A and it had gone well for us, but in the field Sevilla played a great game and it is correct that they have won,” he added.
The Italian midfielder acknowledged that Roma faced this Europa League with great ambitions and that they had the desire to demonstrate something that they finally could not.
