The head coach of Roma, Gian Piero Gasperini, had three missed penalties by his team in the group stage match of the Europa League against Lille.

We conceded an early goal, which created the best conditions for the opponent to play. In the end, I believe that despite some technical mistakes, we played the match with great desire. We played with the desire to equalize until the very end.
Let me repeat, the situation with three missed penalties is almost unique; it happens very rarely. But it happened, and it certainly affected the result. That penalty could have given us a positive boost, but when you lose, everything seems too negative. I believe, however, that from this match we come away with some additional valuable moments,” quotes Gasperini Romanews.eu.
