Javier Pastore says Roma’s Champions League run “definitely” helped convince him to join the Giallorossi.
The Argentinian midfielder joined from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, arriving in a €24.7m deal.
“I chose Roma because I had the chance to come here, everyone knows what Roma represents,” Pastore told the club’s official television channel.
“Coming to a strong team like this, with a Coach who wants important things, was very motivating.

“Coming to a strong team like this, with a Coach who wants important things, was very motivating.
“Did the Champions League run help my choice? Definitely. Seeing a team which works so well together and reached the semi-finals was an important thing, and we hope to do it again.
“I just wanted a new challenge, I was at PSG for seven years with great champions, but I no longer wanted to be scrapping for my place.
“I feel good, I'm training hard to do what the Coach asks, we're going to do some important things together.”
