Sarri: ‘Lazio could’ve taken victory with fans behind us’ in semi-final

Maurizio Sarri feels that if Lazio’s fans had been inside the Stadio Olimpico rather than protesting outside, ‘we could’ve taken the win home’ after the 2-2 Coppa Italia semi-final with Atalanta.

The Biancocelesti had twice taken the lead this evening, through a Fisayo Dele-Bashiru dinked finish and Boulaye Dia pouncing on the Mario Pasalic error.

However, both times Atalanta equalised within a few minutes, with Pasalic and the late Yunus Musah strike.

“We are satisfied with the performance, because we played at a high level against a strong team during what has been a difficult period,” Sarri told Sport Mediaset.

“On the other hand, we have regrets over the results, although we know it would’ve been a battle in Bergamo even going there with a one-goal advantage.”
