Mancini says Roma capable of Man City upset

Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini believes AS Roma can pull off a shock in their Champions League tie. The Giallorossi head out to England without Daniele De Rossi and Davide Astori.

Mancini said: "Compared to the CSKA game, it seems to me that they will be without two or three major players in Manchester, who can be dangerous for Roma.

"When Roma are complete, as I saw against CSKA, they can safely compete on par with City. But, instead, now they are slightly disadvantaged, according to me.

"But in football there is nothing for granted. Roma have all the enthusiasm, this is the second year in which they are doing well and they have won everything between the League and Champions League so far. It will still be a tricky game."
