Roma, Totti gives his take on Real Madrid without Ronaldo

Roma's Francesco Totti spoke to media after the Giallorossi's Champions League draw outcome, getting placed in group G along with Real Madrid, CSKA Moscow and Plzen. 
 
"On paper, it seems very simple, but last year we were destined to finish third and then we beat everyone, so we can't think that it will be easy. It's a tough group. 
 
"Real with Ronaldo? They are still from outer space. It's still Real, we have a lot of respect for them.
 
"Our goals? Doing better than last year would mean playing the final in Madrid, it will not be easy but we will try. The expectations are very high, but we have a strong and united team. 
 
"Stronger or weaker this year? We remain competitive. Players are sold and bought, the club has made its decisions and we should respect that. We have many young players, we should focus on these."
