Paulo Dybala struck twice in four minutes as Roma beat Porto 3-2 to reach the Europa League round of 16 on Thursday. Dybala returned from a knee injury sustained in the first-leg 1-1 draw a week ago in Portugal, and Roma advanced on a 4-3 aggregate score.

“Now we have traced a better path to reach our goals. Europe is one of these for us, we have Porto who are a very difficult team to face, so from tomorrow, or rather, from the day after tomorrow, we will think about this team because Europa League is one of our goals.”

Fenerbahce sealed their place in the last 16 of the Europa League with a 5-2 aggregate win over Anderlecht, having drawn 2-2 in an interrupted second leg in Belgium on Thursday, while Ajax Amsterdam scraped through against Union Saint-Gilloise.
