“I never saw 3 missed penalties.”

Roma failed to duplicate the lead to Good and suffered their first Europa League defeat.

Lille gained 1-0 on the Olimpico.

After the ultimate whistle, Gian Piero Gasperini commented on his group’s efficiency.

“To begin with, I’ve by no means seen a group of mine miss three penalties in the identical match,” he informed Sky Sport after the match.

“We went behind very early and put them in the absolute best place to play. In the long run, Roma, regardless of technical errors, performed with nice want and tempo.”

“They chased the outcome till the top, they conceded a couple of issues, however that’s how it’s in Europe. We weren’t robust at making the most of alternatives, however you come away from these video games with one thing further.”

“The missed penalties? I don’t know, it’s actually a novel and random scenario and it occurs very not often. It occurred and undoubtedly compromised the outcome. The group gave loads when it comes to tempo, and that penalty may have turned issues round. Then you definitely lose and clearly you have a look at every part negatively, however we come away with slightly extra worth.”

“It wasn’t straightforward in opposition to Lille as a result of they’re a group that counterattacks. Within the second half, we managed to take care of consistency in assault. It wasn’t straightforward to win the ball again and shut the hole, however the spirit was excessive, as was the depth of the match. Then there have been some technical errors that made the distinction. We have to make fewer errors, and from these errors, they created their harmful possibilities. However I’ve to see how a lot good the group has completed. It’s a contest the place the emotion of elimination hasn’t but set in.”
