Real Betis midfielder Sergio Canales says they're pleased after Thursday night's Europa League draw with Roma.

Canales struck for the 1-1 draw.

He later said: "We're happy because with two rounds to go we've already qualified from a difficult group. We've achieved the objective earlier than expected.

"In the first half we were good. We came out well and we had chances. We moved the ball very quickly which is what the game demanded. In the second half... they're a good team with good players and we took a step back. It was difficult but in general we controlled the game.

"One of the big keys to our team is the group. There were eight rotations from the last league game, and it's important for us to be united."
