Roma midfielder Alberto Aquilani was thrilled with their 2-0 defeat of Dynamo Kiev last night.

"Perhaps our strength is in the versatility of our system, but now we have confidence to take on any opponent in an open fashion and play great football," said the midfielder.

Aquilani had the opportunity to make it 3-0 late on, but his piledriver thumped the base of the upright.

"I have these qualities and try to use them to help the squad. The more I play, the more confidence I get," added the Giallorossi youth product.

"Things are going well and it's a very long road, so we mustn't get ahead of ourselves, but we are on the right track."
