"Roma" strategist Eusebio Di Francesco does not underestimate Madrid's "Real" eleven and states that both opponents and "Romans" are currently facing major problems.
Madrid's "Real" is currently playing one of the worst seasons in the club's history, but the "Roma" team is also not a major force this season - they have already suffered four defeats in the Italian league.
Both clubs have fought for three wins in the Champions League - tomorrow's match is likely to determine which team will take first place in the group, so an intriguing clash awaits.
"Roma faces the current European champion," - Di Francesco began the press conference with these words. - Is it favorable to meet "Real" now? I think they can say the same about us.
"We are two teams that are currently not in the best shape. I try not to focus on the problems of our opponents, as I have enough of my own regarding our performance in the league.
We are facing a duel with the champion, so this will not be an ordinary match. The fact that both clubs have collected nine points each pleases me. In the first match, they played very well, but we had time to fix certain things.
Today the situation is completely different, just mentioning the psychological state," - the Italian added.
