Roma coach Luciano Spalletti was pleased for the club after victory at AC Milan clinched a place in next season's Europa League.

"The lads did well and deserve praise for winning in a very difficult arena," he said of the 3-2 win at Milan.

This is the third year running that Spalletti has left this fixture with the full points in his pocket.

"Qualifying for Europe gives confidence and strength to the club. It also puts into the spotlight the achievements of our hard work over the years, quite aside from our position right now.

"We have to see how we got here, the difficulties we overcame in what was an extremely complicated season.

"The future is certainly rosy for this team and this club."
