Federico Marchetti: "We deserved better"

Lazio goalkeeper Federico Marchetti believes that the Biancocelesti deserved more from their Europa League quarter-final second leg against Fenerbahce.

Vladimir Petkovic's men could only draw 1-1 at the Stadio Olimpico last night, which was enough to send the Turkish team through 3-1 on aggregate.

"We played a great game and are disappointed because we deserved better," Marchetti told Mediaset Premium. "It's a real shame, as we were penalised in the first leg.

"This is football, it's a pity and we compliment Fenerbahce for going forward in the competition.

"It's a pity about tonight, because we certainly deserved something more. It is a tough blow, but we are strong and will play to the end with the conviction we'll lift a trophy this season."

Aquile will contest the Coppa Italia final against either Roma or Inter Milan on May 26.
