Roma goalkeeper Svilar on shootout heroics: Amazing!

Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar was full of pride after their Europa League playoff win against Feyenoord.

The Giallorossi are into the final 16 thanks to Svilar's penalty shootout heroics.

Svilar said: "Amazing, I have no words. I've worked my whole life for this moment. Every time I walk in here, it feels more special.

"In these moments I don't feel pressure. I saved two penalties, I could have saved three. We won, that's the important thing.

"With the trainer, I study where to go. When it came to penalties I decided where to go, I went to the right side three times. I saved two, so that's good for today."

On coach Daniele de Rossi, he added: "This trust is very important, which is transformed into a performance on the pitch. I am more calm, I thank the coach for his trust. Tomorrow we are in another match, we hope to win it."
