Roma chief Tiago Pinto says they're in the Europa Conference League to win it.

Pinto was speaking before their first-leg win at Vitesse.

"Fortunately we don't have any more injuries other than Leonardo Spinazzola, so it's easier for the coach to rotate, he was able to choose the players most suited to this game," Pinto told Sky Italia.

“We said from the start that we feel ambitious about this competition and want to go all the way, we believe we can win it and every match must be treated like a final. I think the team selection tonight shows that ambition.

“Serie A is very competitive, so if a team wins or doesn't win for two rounds, it makes a big difference in the race for a Champions League spot. We want to win as many games as we can to get closer to the top spots.

“We'll see what happens, but the important thing is to take it one game at a time. We cannot spend every week judging whether we are close or far from the position we want."
