Garcia full of pride after amazing Roma triumph

Roma coach Rudi Garcia was proud of their fight-back for their stunning 3-2 Champions League win.

Roma were 2-0 up, before being pegged back to 2-2.

"We certainly don't get bored when these two teams play each other," smiled a relieved Garcia on Mediaset Premium.

“We could've scored more goals in the first half and after the break there was this black-out, but we had the character to get back into it.

“We would've been out of the tournament if we hadn't won tonight. The lads did well, because there are teams who would crumble if going from 2-0 to 2-2 in five minutes."

He added: "In the second half we ran two metres less than in the first. Perhaps some think they can lean on their teammates instead of doing something more to help their teammate.

“The Coach can understand negative things there, but I am happy because the lads reacted the way they should've done."
