Dzeko says Roma going for Champions League qualification

Roma striker Edin Dzeko says they're going for Champions League qualification.

Dzeko admits it's difficult to compete with Juventus.

He said: “Every objective that goes is a disappointment for the club and our fans, but the season isn't over yet. It is negative that we are out of the Europa League, as we wanted to go all the way.

“There are more games to go in Serie A, we must be concentrated and try to win them all. At the end we'll see if we are satisfied or not.

“I hope we can get back into the Champions League, as that is an objective Roma can reach. It's difficult to compete with Juventus when they invest over €150m in new players. Unfortunately, we didn't do that.

“I still think our results are fairly positive. We are in second place and hope to at least maintain that to the end of the season."
