Former AS Roma star Zibi Boniek says his old club bossed their game at Champions League opponents Manchester City.
Roma took a point from Manchester on Tuesday.
Polish legend Boniek said: "In the last 10 minutes there was a natural dip in fitness levels after a game played at a very high tempo.
"I was happy to see a Roma side with character, competitive in all areas against one of the strongest squads in Europe like Manchester City.
"I think Garcia has done a great job giving the team a European soul. In their Champions League ties, home or away, Roma can battle it out with anyone, perhaps even more so than Juventus."
He added: "Totti was Man of the Match. As soon as he started his run towards the box, I knew he'd score. Goal aside, he was always at the centre of the action and with Pjanic, Keita and Nainggolan kept quality possession.
"I was surprised by Yanga-Mbiwa and the defence that was never apprehensive, despite missing De Sanctis in goal.
"Skorupski showed he is a goalkeeper who has good quality, although he was a mere spectator for long periods of the game. The few times he was called upon, he did very well."
