Angry Di Francesco regrets Roma time wasting and lack of belief against Liverpool

The Italian side's 7-6 aggregate loss left the coach full of regret as he believes they could have done more to reach the final

Eusebio Di Francesco refused to dwell on two unsuccessful penalty appeals as the Roma head coach pointed the finger at his players and their lack of belief after losing to Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals.

Roma huffed and puffed but fell short despite their 4-2 second-leg victory on Wednesday, with Liverpool advancing to the Kiev showpiece against Real Madrid with a 7-6 aggregate win.

The Italian side faced an uphill task in the capital, where Roma entered the match trailing 5-2 following last week's absorbing opening leg at Anfield.
