Dybala: Mourinho changes inspired Roma victory over Feyenoord

Paulo Dybala is delighted to have helped Roma reach the Europa League semifinals.

Dybala jumped from the bench to score and inspire Roma to victory over Feyenoord last night.

He later reflected: "The road from Trigoria to the stadium was incredible, then a stadium this full helps you in moments of difficulty. I'm one more player, at 2-1 they kept pushing and we did too. Luckily we did equalised and then in extra time we made it ours.

"We all have the desire to win and a coach with an incredible mentality. He told us this would be the game and that's how it was. This team knows what it means to win in Europe, there are only a few games left and we hope to reach the final.

"We all know his (Jose Mourinho's) story, in every team he's been in he's won. His mentality drives us, he knows what matches are like. The moment he had to change the team, we played better and deservedly won. I hope the team may continue like this and we will give our best to play in the final."
