Roma captain Pellegrini proud overcoming Bayer Leverkusen

Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini was delighted after reaching the Europa League final.

A 0-0 draw at Bayer Leverkusen saw Roma reach the final 1-0 on aggregate.

Pellegrini later said: "I've been thinking about it for a while, matches like these aren't prepared on the same day but also 5/6 days before.

"Wanting things and then believing in them makes the difference."

On facing Sevilla in the final, he also said: "In my opinion, yes, it's a one-off match: we'll go to Budapest to play our final and win. I'm sure we won't miss this appointment."
