The semi-final second leg ended 1-1 – and 2-2 on aggregate meaning a penalty shootout was needed to separate the two teams.

Sarri said “There is no preparation for penalties because you can kick very well in the training ground, but then the pressure is different, you need a great personality, a great character. I think it’s really useless to try to prepare for penalties. Now we need to rest. We have to recover energy because we are really very tired.”
