"We know that Ajax is a strong team. But we are showing the growth of this team", Pellegrini said after the second leg to the TV station Sky Sport quoted by Antara.
"We are happy to qualify, but this is only the semi-final and we still have three more matches to play, we want to play three more games in this competition", he added.
In the semifinals, Roma will face Manchester United, who have reached the last four of the Europa League for two seasons.
The continuation of Rome's steps made them continue to maintain the presence of Italy's representatives in European competitions this season.
