AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli says they reach for Europa League quarterfinals in good shape.

Milan will meet Roma in the first-leg on Thursday night.

Pioli said: “We arrive at the decisive moment of the season which will have a major impact on the evaluation of our path.

"We get there well, with the players in good condition, in good health, motivated, with the right enthusiasm and with a good level of play. But we have to continue and these two matches will be very important.

"It is a difficult obstacle that we can overcome and we must do so through our game, our ideas, our quality, attention and determination. In these two matches every single minute we will have to be very careful and determined and better than our opponents."
