Jose Mourinho, the manager of AS Roma, has stated that his team will face a very good Leicester City side in the Europa Conference League (ECL) semi-final later this month.
Leicester City made history on Thursday night, defeating PSV 2-1 in the second leg of their quarter-final encounter to advance to their first-ever European semi-final.
Last week, the Foxes were held scoreless in the first leg at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester overcame PSV thanks to two goals from James Maddison and Ricardo Pereira.
On April 28, Leicester will meet Roma, who crushed Bodo/Glimt 4-0 to come back from a 2-1 deficit in the reverse encounter.
Speaking at his post-match press conference after Roma won Bodo/Glimt, Mourinho said: “We are going to play against a Premier League team and the Premier League is the strongest competition in the world in terms of nations.
“Leicester is a team that won titles recently and it is a team that competes every weekend at the highest level, I think they are a very strong team.
“But we are Roma and we are going to play. We have the second leg at home with our wonderful team, so we are going to try.”
