Roma defender Manolas: Top four blown due to small team slips

AS Roma defender Kostas Manolas says they would already for qualified for the Champions League if they had beaten smaller teams this season.

Even by winning their remaining games they could miss a top four finish.

“When you lose to SPAL, draw with Chievo at home or draw 2-2 against nine-man Cagliari, of course, there will be regrets. We could already be in the Champions League spots if it wasn't for those points we threw away," said Manolas.

“We have to win all our matches and hope the others slip up. I've never seen a situation like this in Italy before with so many teams fighting for the top four."
