Stefano Pioli says Lazio’s second leg with Galatasaray tonight is ‘not just important but fundamental.’

The Biancocelesti are struggling in Serie A and therefore the Europa League could offer the only chance of European football next season.

The Aquile recorded an impressive 1-1 draw in Istanbul in the first leg and will again face the Turkish side at the Stadio Olimpico this evening.

“I think it’s not just important but fundamental,” Pioli told Sky Sport Italia.

“I think it’s not just important but fundamental,” Pioli told Sky Sport Italia.

“We took a small advantage in the first leg but there’s still everything to play for.

“My team has the chance of getting through, we’ve already shown that. There is pressure but we must embrace it.

“We will put our qualities on the pitch and like I said, we have a chance. We’ll use the first leg as a starting point but we won’t change our way of playing.”
