Roma only managed a 3-3 draw with Juventus despite leading 1-0 and 3-1. He thus missed the chance to consolidate his position in the Champions League standings.
Boga (min. 78) and Gatti (min. 90+3) scored the goals with which Juventus saved a point on “Olimpico” (3-3), and sent the Romanians into the arms of despair. The Giallorossi thus ticked off their third draw against a Serie A giant, after 2-2 with Napoli and 1-1 with Milan.
Gian Piero Gasperini does not have high hopes for Inter
With Inter, AS Roma will play only on April 4, in the return leg, but coach Gian Piero Gasperini, probably taking into account the result of the round, 0-1, does not have high hopes.
“Inter play in a league of their own,” Gasperini said of Cristi Chivu's side when asked about the duels with Italy's superpowers. In front of the others he got draws, which for the Italian technician is “progress. I was closer to victory than defeat.
We managed high-level performance, but there are also details. Finally, these teams bring in their good players in the aerial game. It is not a coincidence; physicality in the final stages pays off for these teams. We need to be better at that to avoid losing to long set pieces. They are key factors in matches”.
Gian Piero Gasperini: “The glass is half empty because of the goal conceded in extra time”
Gasperini was referring to Juve's 3rd goal, scored by Gatti after a McKennie headed free kick in extra time: “The glass is half full. Half empty only because of the goal in extra time that affected us.
You saw how two points that were almost in the bag escaped us. That's football, goals count even in the last seconds. It's a shame, but the glass is half full. Two more points would have been a big step forward, so this is a good result. A huge disappointment, but a superb performance”.
