Atalanta midfielder Marten de Roon says they can be happy with their draw at Sporting.

Atalanta drew 1-1 with Sporting in the first-leg of their Europa League round of 16 tie.

De Roon said: "An away draw is always good, but tonight I had the feeling that we could have done more, especially if you see the opportunities we created. Apart from the first 15, 20 minutes where we struggled a bit, but then it was all Atalanta.

"It's not bad, it's a good result, but I think we should have won today. In the second match the pressure will be different because it's a decisive match, but we will try to do the same, but scoring more.

"We have recovered a lot of balls in their half of the pitch, we played well, so it's a shame we didn't win."
