“We have to do better, that’s the demand,” Ten Hag told BT Sport.

“We were not composed, not calm. We didn’t beat the press, when you do there are so many spaces behind, and it was obvious at the start how to do it.

“We lost the battles, they had more passion, more desire, more willingness. This was a great opportunity, a great occasion, to win something and we gave it away – we have to blame ourselves. It’s gone, we can’t change it.”

Roma smashed Feyenoord 4-1 at home in the second leg of the tie
