"Munich's "Bayern" defender Mehdi Benatia hopes that together with his represented club, they will advance to the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, along with his former teammates from "Roma". According to the Moroccan, the Italian club surpasses the main competitor, "Manchester City". "Giallorossi" are currently second in Group E after five rounds, but have the same number of points as Moscow's "CSKA" and "City". "Roma" would surely advance to the next stage by winning the return match against the English champions. Otherwise, the Italians would be satisfied with a draw if "CSKA" does not beat "Bayern". Benatia, who arrived in Germany just this summer, is delighted with the form displayed by his former team. The "Eternal City" footballers defeated Milan's "Inter" with a score of 4-2 over the weekend. "In my opinion, "Roma" is stronger than "Manchester City" - the defender told Processo del Lunedi. "If they play like against "Inter", they will advance to the next stage." "They demonstrate excellent and quality play." The Moroccan national team member also expressed the opinion that his former club currently the strongest in Italy - "Roma", according to the player, is more capable than Turin's "Juventus".
