Feyenoord coach Slot: We couldn't handle Roma pair Dybala, Abraham

Feyenoord coach Arne Slot admits they couldn't handle Roma's attack for their Europa League defeat.

Roma forced the second-leg into extra-time before overrunning Feyenoord to win 4-1 and reach the semifinals.

Slot later said: "I respect my team for playing with courage in this atmosphere.

"In the end, it wasn't enough because Paulo Dybala scored a fantastic goal. Dybala and (Tammy) Abraham were too much for us.

"Roma have shown a lot of character by coming back like this. I thought it was quite amazing that we were still going in the final phase of extra time. I also had no idea that we were finished. Every Feyenoord player can be very proud of how we presented ourselves in Europe. We played very well on the ball, but that is not enough. It's about winning."
