Montella warns Roma ahead of Barcelona Champions League showdown
Talking to media after the final whistle, Montella said: “We didn’t do enough to close the game, we should have done more. When Messi entered the pitch the game changed. I am nervous, just like the lads, because we played a great game for 88 minutes. I have yet to talk to my players, but we played a very good game for 88 minutes.”
​Barcelona are now due to face Roma at the Nou Camp and Montella ‘advised’ his compatriots ahead of their Champions League showdown: “Di Francesco knows what to do but it may be easier for them if Messi doesn’t play.”
