Roma striker Abraham floating after reaching second Euro final

Roma striker Tammy Abraham is thrilled to be in the Europa League final.

A 0-0 draw at Bayer Leverkusen saw Roma win their semifinal 1-0 on aggregate.

Abraham said: "You could see by the game, we defended for the full 90 minutes. I think sometimes when you're playing against a good team you have to play like this. I'm proud of my team. I had no doubt that we'd come here to try and get a result. Fair play to my team-mates, because that game wasn't easy.

"Tonight's performance shows we have great mentality and great character. My team could see I was frustrated with having to defend for the entire game, but they kept encouraging me the whole time and lifting me. To have team-mates like I do, I'm proud and honoured. We're going to the final so hopefully we can see it through.

"When I first arrived here, I told my team-mates I wanted to win trophies. Because they hadn't won for so long, some of them never believed me. Now they're seeing that things are coming true. Last season we made it all the way to the final, we won. This year we're in another so hopefully we can lift another title soon."
