Football: Juve look to down ‘ruthless’ Roma
Juve’s comprehensive victory over the Scottish champions gave them a huge boost ahead of the second leg in Turin.
MILAN: Juventus defender Martin Caceres says the Italian champions must forget their Champions League success over Celtic and concentrate on dealing with a potentially ‘ruthless’ Roma today.
Juve’s comprehensive 3-0 victory over the Scottish champions in Glasgow midweek gave them a huge boost ahead of the second leg in Turin in three weeks’ time.
But Caceres insists the Scudetto remains their priority, and resumes by defending their five-point lead over Napoli against a Roma side which, he believes, could turn recent off-field events to their advantage.
“Roma are a great team,” said Caceres. “They’ve recently changed their manager and this usually produces greater desire and ruthlessness. But we’ll be going there for the win.”
He added: “Our first objective is clearly to defend our title, but we’ll have one eye on the Champions League.
