Roma coach Paulo Fonseca admits they were caught out by Juventus for Sunday's 2-1 defeat at the Olimpico.

Juventus won the game in the opening 10 minutes as Merih Demiral struck and Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty. Diego Perotti's spotkick was mere consolation for the hosts.

Fonseca said, “We gifted a side like Juve two goals that early, but after that we played well and had a good second half, but after that penalty, it was difficult to turn it around.

“Situations like this can happen when you want to play out from the back, because this is the style of football I believe in as a coach. We work on these situations, but they still happen.

“I don't believe in a type of football where we don't try to play out from the back. I believe in a courageous football and one that means taking risks.

“Errors can happen, what mattered to me was the reaction after that and I think we played well. I am proud of how we continued the match."
