AS Roma director general Mauro Baldissoni insists they can still win the Scudetto.
The Giallorossi have been encouraged by Juventus' defeat at Napoli on Sunday.
"The hope for the Scudetto is legitimate, but much more simply our goal is to pick up as many points as possible," Baldissoni told Radio Anch'Io Sport.
"And this is made possible also by the desire to get closer to Juventus, who still remain at a distance.
"It will also depend on their performance and therefore we must also hope. As for third place, keeping Napoli away will depend only on us."
