The coach of the defeated "Roma" club in an empty stadium: we are disappointed © EuroFootball.com

Strategist Claudio Ranieri was disappointed with the performance of his students after a sensational defeat in the Champions League to the modest team of "Basel".

The Italian team lost to their opponents 1-3 at home.

"The game needs to improve - this time the attitude was not as we saw in the matches against "Genoa" in the Italian championship," said the strategist. - "Basel" did not have many opportunities, but they took advantage of them, while we wasted four excellent chances.

"We were not overly aggressive and we need to create more opportunities."

It is worth noting that the match at the Rome Olympic Stadium, which holds almost 73 thousand spectators, was watched by just over 22 thousand people.

"We did not lose because there were few spectators," commented Ranieri. - In the Champions League, football players must be motivated.

"We are disappointed because we lacked determination, but we must trust ourselves."
