Vincenzo Italiano feels Bologna ‘did enough over the two games’ to deserve their Europa League play-off success against SK Brann, as they prepare to face Roma or Freiburg.
“It is a great victory, we dedicate it to all these wonderful fans, and it is our fourth consecutive win, so we are very happy,” Skorupski told Sky Sport Italia.
“I had a serious injury three months ago, but it is behind me now, I showed today that I am back to full fitness, and the important thing was to keep going in the Europa League.”
Roma or Freiburg in the next round.
“I honestly don’t know, we’ll see what we get and will do our job. We want to keep going as far as possible in Europe.”
Italy have four representatives still in Europe, then.
Atalanta in the Champions League.
Roma and Bologna in the Europa League.
Fiorentina in the Conference League.
Bologna find out tomorrow in the draw if they will face Freiburg or… Roma.
Bologna are through to the Europa League Round of 16 after another 1-0 victory over SK Brann, decided by Joao Mario after an early red card.

It was all going so well! Odgaard down the left, roll across, Dominguez controls, sends two defenders down with a dummy, and then drills onto the base of the upright!
Acrobatic Orsolini bicycle kick volley is charged down at the near post, another corner!
Rowe again down the left and pulls back, cleared as far as the edge of the area, where Odgaard’s scuffed finish is put out for a corner by Boakye!

Orsolini gets down the right, twists and turns, shot parried at the near post!
Freuler off, Odgaard on for Bologna, so Ferguson drops into midfield.
Haaland and Holten also on for Brann, replacing Mathisen and Thorsteinsson
Orsolini snapshot from the edge of the area is powerful and on target, but also straight at the goalkeeper.
Bologna keep racking up the corners, but they are struggling to create genuine chances.
Moro cross for Castro, Boakye get something on it, Bologna are pinning Brann back now.
