Roma boss Garcia says they can handle tough Champions League group

AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia insists they can handle their tough Champions League group draw.

Roma have been grouped alongside Bayern Munich, Manchester City and CSKA Moscow.

"We had no other choice and knew we'd be in for a very tough draw with at least two top class opponents," Garcia told Roma Radio.

"It's a good draw, I like it, we'll be outsiders. CSKA are a tough team and start their season before we do.

"What are our chances of making it through? Everyone assumes Roma are out, but we'll try to cause an upset.

"In the past 20 per cent of the sides from Pot 4 have qualified through the group stage, so we'll try to improve that number."
