Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas was impressed by Roma for last night's Champions League playoff first-leg.

The match finished 1-1, with Thomas Vermaelen being sent off for Roma.

“Roma played very well and had several chances, but the tie is open for the second leg," Casillas told Mediaset Premium.

“In the second half we did expect to get a little more."

Casillas is taking a new step in his career at Porto, so how is he feeling?

“I felt great affection in this year and a half at Porto, I am very happy and am motivated to continue doing great things."
