Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is convinced the Europa Conference League is here to stay.

The Foxes host Roma tomorrow in the first-leg of the semifinal.

"It's a prestigious competition, all four teams will want to win it," he said.

"It's a fantastic occasion against a top-class team. To get to the final we will do everything we can. It's another symbol of our growth as a club."

Ricardo Pereira scored the Foxes' late winner in their 2-1 semi-final second-leg win at PSV earlier this month and recognises the magnitude of the game.

He said: "It's the first semi-final for the club and we have the opportunity to arrive in a final in European competition, it's a big achievement. We are all aware of that and that's why it's a big game for us.

"We have a bit of a taste of winning a competition (the FA Cup), that helps us but I don't think it'll be a major difference (against Roma). They have good players who play in national teams, like Sergio (Oliveira) who plays with me, so it won't make any difference."
