Roma defender Roger Ibanez proud of goal in victory over Ajax

Roma defender Roger Ibanez was proud to get on the scoresheet in their 2-1 Europa League victory over Ajax.

Ibanez struck as Pau Lopez saved an Ajax on a dramatic night.

“It was a difficult match, but we did well, we suffered under pressure and at the end I scored a goal that I really, really enjoyed," grinned the defender on Sky Sport Italia.

Ibanez felt the need to make up for his earlier error, which had gifted Ajax a penalty.

“I thank Pau for saving that penalty, thank God we also went on to win the game."
