Roma coach Mourinho on Ludogorets defeat: We tried - but now we're under pressure

Roma coach Jose Mourinho says they're immediately under pressure after their 2-1 defeat at Europa League opponents Ludogorets.

It marked two defeats in the week for Roma after the weekend setback at Udinese.

Mourinho said: "I don't want to say that we had an extraordinary game because it's not true. We are the team that has tried most to score with more opportunities.

"We had the psychological strength to try to score but we made a lot of mistakes. The team that wants to win after a draw gets goals from the counterattack and loses.

"We didn't have a great game, but enough to equalise. This result takes us a long time and a little pressure.

"We have five games to get the results we need to move forward. We have to win the next one and hope that whoever wins the first one will lose points. It is essential to win the next."
