Roma captain Totti: CSKA equaliser like getting thumped by Iron Mike!

AS Roma captain Francesco Totti was gutted by CSKA Moscow's late equaliser for last night's Champions League draw. Totti struck the opener for Roma before CSKA's late equaliser.

"It was like getting punched by Mike Tyson, because I really did not expect that goal right at the end," Totti told Sky Sport Italia.

"We played a good first half, but being a big team means coming here and taking the initiative. We did not control the ball well towards the end and we were punished for it.

"It was very difficult to play the ball on the ground in this cold, but we are not looking for excuses. Unfortunately this little incident happened and nobody expected it."
