A great desire to react and respond after the 1-0 loss against Udinese in the Serie A TIM this past weekend, Roma will take on Real Madrid in a chance to secure their qualification for the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League. Matchday 5 of 6, there are clear objectives as stated by Monchi, who spoke in view of the important Matchday of Group G.
"I expect a similar reaction to that in the previous Champions League games here in Rome. We must continue on this path, that in the last season brought us to the semifinals of the Champions League - today we will fight for the first place spot with Real".
Doubt towards Eusebio Di Francesco? Not a chance, as confirmed by Monchi: "I believe in him, we are in good hands".
Edin Dzeko, who after having stated a potential flexor issue during yesterday's training session, was stopped. A precautionary procedure, his presence against the Blancos is at risk.
