“Napoli? We battled, we took a point. It’s not easy to play at the San Paolo, we always want to win but many have lost there.
“Szczesny? He made great saves against Napoli, he was really very good.”
Meanwhile, Roma head coach Rudi Garcia is anticipating a good encounter against the Real Madrid, who are the most successful club in the history of European Football.
Of course, we know that Real Madrid will be the favourites in the tie but we won’t mind that,” Garcia said after hearing about the draw, having led the Roma in to the round of 16 for the very first time.
“We faced Barcelona in the group stage and now we have Real Madrid but we are in the Champions League for a reason and it isn’t to make up the numbers.
“In February, we will have a few players back from injury and we will be ready to give everything to try and qualify. All of the lads are ready and looking forward to the tie.”
