Bologna manager Thiago Motta discussed the upcoming head-to-head clash with Roma.

Following the Felsinei’s second consecutive draw, Motta spoke about the opportunity to face the Giallorossi in a key moment for this year’s Champions League race.

“For us it is a great opportunity to go up against a team that has been obsessed with the pursuit of the Champions League since the beginning of the season.”

“We have to do our job and make the game favorable for us. We will have to play hard and give our all,” Motta told DAZN.

“This pressure that teams like Roma have doesn’t exist for us, since at the start of the league season there wasn’t even the hope of being in a position like the one we’re in now. Only the teams that were expected to compete for Champions League football feel pressure now.”
