"Leading through Hakon Arnar Haraldsson's sixth-minute strike at the Stadio Olimpico, manager Bruno Genesio watched Turkiye goalkeeper Berke Ozer save three consecutive penalties as a result of a spot kick awarded to Roma in the 80th minute that was retaken twice. "It's the first time I've seen that," said Genesio, whose side won 1-0. "It's very strong emotions and indescribable joy for the whole group."
""Even if our opponents can play better than us sometimes, we also have this strength of character at all times," said manager Luis Enrique, whose team faced their first setback of the campaign with a 1-0 defeat at Marseille on September 22. "That's something that's very difficult to acquire. We don't give up, constantly. That means we're ready to overcome any challenge."
Lille have won both opening Europa League matches and approach their Ligue 1 clash with Paris Saint-Germain buoyed by an extraordinary goalkeeping feat.

Bruno Genesio described the result as joyful but warned Sunday’s match against Paris will present different challenges. PSG recovered to beat Barcelona 2-1 thanks to Goncalo Ramos’s 90th-minute winner. Luis Enrique praised his side’s character and refusal to give up. Lille face defensive selection issues with Alexsandro sidelined.
