Is Leicester vs Roma on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Europa Conference League fixture
Jose Mourinho says his Roma side are chasing their “dream” of reaching the Europa Conference League final.
He made the comments ahead of their away leg in their semi-final against Leicester City on Thursday. The team head into the match off the back of a 3-1 loss to Inter Milan but the ‘special one’ says they are now focusing on the game at hand.
“There was a lack of concentration and confidence [against Inter] for about 10-15 minutes before the break. In the second half, we conceded a goal from a set play that my players knew full well how to defend, because we talked about it so much. We had the courage to play and keep going. I prefer to lose after three months against a team that is stronger than us, so I have nothing to say.
“Now we need to rest, chase the dream of reaching the Conference League Final, which will be so tough on Thursday. As I said, if I had to lose, I preferred losing against a team that was stronger.”
But who will line-up for the teams and how can fans watch? Here’s all you need to know.
