Keita Balde Diao felt Lazio “could’ve won” their 1-1 draw at Sparta Prague, but can’t explain their European form.

Marco Parolo replied to a Martin Frydek strike to give a good result in the first leg of this Europa League Round of 16.

“It’s a shame really, because I think we could’ve won this game, but it remains a good result away from home,” Keita told Sky Sport Italia.

Marco Parolo replied to a Martin Frydek strike to give a good result in the first leg of this Europa League Round of 16.

“It’s a shame really, because I think we could’ve won this game, but it remains a good result away from home,” Keita told Sky Sport Italia.

“We attacked the space well, the forwards did a good job. I try to give my all whether I start or come off the bench.”

The Biancocelesti’s form in Europe seems a world away from their Serie A results.

“We do not approach the games any differently. We want to win every match, whether it is in Serie A or the Europa League.”

There was an ugly incident in Prague, as play was halted for a few seconds due to racist chants aimed at Sparta player Costa.

“I didn’t hear anything,” said Keita. “When I am on the pitch I am concentrated on the game.”

This is the second time this season that Lazio have seen one of their games halted by the referee for racist abuse from the stands, as it also happened against Napoli in Serie A.
