Champions League & UEFA Cup Thread

Unless I didn't look hard enough, I haven't seen a thread here where we can discuss European competition beyond Milan, so I've started one. Mod squad, if one's been started already, feel free to merge it and give me a rap on the knuckles.

Probably not the best way to get one started, but I didn't want to start out with a blank slate.

Totti: Ronaldo Is A Liar
Francesco Totti has rubbished claims from Cristiano Ronaldo that some Roma players begged him for mercy during the meeting between the sides last season.

Manchester United humiliatingly thrashed Roma 7-1 in last year’s Champions League quarter-final. The two teams met again last night with the Red Devils coming out on top with a 1-0 victory.

In the days leading up to yesterday’s match Ronaldo said: "When we were already winning 6-0 one of their players said 'don't do any more dribbles, you're already winning by six', almost begging."

Totti has denied that any such words were exchanged and has hinted that Ronaldo may have to face worst provocation when the teams meet in Rome on December 12.

“Regarding Ronaldo’s comments in the last few days, we didn’t say any of these words to him. I can promise you that the elbow he received from Vucinic yesterday was purely accidental but Ronaldo now has to come to Rome,” Totti said.

Er Pupone was proud of Roma’s performance last night and believes they deserved at least a point from the game.

“We did much better than we did last year. We controlled the game and we should have had a penalty. All in all, we did not deserve to lose,” Totti concluded.
