Roma midfielder Alessandro Florenzi admitted "bitterness" after after failing to reach the Champions League final.

Roma defeated Liverpool 4-2 on Wednesday night, but lost 7-6 on aggregate.

“The bitterness remains, especially for that penalty and what would've been a red card. We could've gone 3-2 up and attempt the miracle that we only grazed," Florenzi told Mediaset Premium.

“It does make you angry to go out like that. We conceded seven goals over two legs, but without the first Mohamed Salah goal being offside, then the penalty on Edin Dzeko who wasn't offside and the really obvious one with the handball…"

He added: “Roma could've achieved something extraordinary, which all of Rome was dreaming of. I think all of Italy is proud of us tonight. It has to be a starting point for us and not a finish line, as we must want to live these nights again.

“We are very proud of this jersey and I think our fans are proud of what we've done too."
