What They're Saying
CSKA Moscow manager Leonid Slutski (via UEFA): "We have a good chance of qualifying from the group and we need to make the most of it. We have some problems in the middle of the pitch and are working out how to solve them. The loss of Bebras Natcho is a blow. Tonight, it will be clear whether Pontus Wernbloom will be able to take part or not."
AS Roma manager Rudi Garcia: "Roma are always Roma; however, in Europe many teams are stronger than we are. Tomorrow, we will try to play our own game. In our favor is the result of the first match. Tomorrow, we will make every effort to achieve a positive result; however, it will not be easy against a team like CSKA."
