“Dnipro have a great team, but over the two head-to-head games we deserved to finish on top. I saw a mature team today, as we controlled the match with calm and tried to score a third goal too.
“Now the Europa League gets more interesting and more difficult. We are happy to measure ourselves up against sides who were in the Champions League earlier this season.”
Montella was also asked about rumours Fiorentina” data-scaytid=”18″>Fiorentina have made a January offer for Torino winger Danilo D’Ambrosio.
