AS Roma chief Walter Sabatini has admitted there's tension inside the club over the way their title tilt has been blown.

Sabatini was asked about next week's game with Juventus, with a win for the leaders likely to end the season.

Sabatini said: "I think so, but let's steer well clear of this issue for the moment, as we only approached it during a moment of happiness and good humour.

"Now we have to focus on protecting second place and going to Rotterdam to get past Feyenoord in the Europa League. We must be serious and focused, with few words and preferably some action."
