AS Roma coach Rudi Garcia is happy returning to the Champions League in winning mood.
Roma defeated Empoli yesterday 1-0.
"It's a fantastic competition and I was fortunate enough to play in it twice with Lille. The players did well today, proving they had their minds focused on Empoli, as that was necessary to win here.
"Now we've got three days to recover and absolutely must win against CSKA, as it's crucial to start strong on home turf."
