Juventus boss Antonio Conte continued his feud with AS Roma's Rudi Garcia last night.

After victory at Sassuolo, Conte took fresh aim at Roma.

"I hear people say Roma are doing something stratospheric. I say we are eight points ahead of Roma and playing in the Europa League semi-final.

"If Roma are stratospheric then I cannot find an adjective to describe Juventus.

"Anything Juventus do becomes almost expected. If we win the Europa League, it'll be considered a worthless trophy. If we lose, then people will say Juve aren't ready for Europe. When we achieve something, people act as if it's normal administration.

"I think those behind us are irritable, not us. They should be careful with what they say, as Roma and Garcia took a step backwards by feeding into the culture of suspicion with talk of 'help' and opponents not giving their all. If this is football culture, then it's a step backwards."
