Hernan Crespo is convinced Parma can clinch a place in next season's Europa League.

It would prove a remarkable achievement for Parma, which only returned to Serie A this season.

Crespo said: "I arrived in Parma in January and it was a dark period for the club. Now we have ensured our survival and we are fighting for a place in the Europa League.

"What difference does it make whether I score or not? I am happy to have given Antonelli an assist for his first goal in Serie A. I am happy because I dream of seeing Parma in Europe again like in the old days.

"It will be very difficult. But the important thing is to be in the hunt. Are you taking into account the fact Parma were in Serie B a year ago?"
