Roma captain Totti dismisses Burdisso tunnel row

AS Roma captain Francesco Totti played down concerns over his bust-up with Nicolas Burdisso during last night's draw with FC Cluj.

Roma's 1-1 draw was enough to see them through to the final 16 of the Champions League, but a late Cluj goal prompted an argument as they walked towards the tunnel.

"It was just a little discussion and these things happen in football," explained Totti.

"He didn't want to concede that equaliser and was absolutely furious at letting in that goal, just as we were all angry, really.

"He is from Argentina, I am Roman, so it's a fair old clash of strong personalities!

"The important thing was to qualify, but from now onwards we need to play better and secure qualification earlier rather than wait to the last round."
