Former Roma and Juventus midfielder Miralem Pjanic discussed the upcoming showdown between the two teams at the Allianz Stadium.

In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pjanic spoke about the rivalry between the two clubs and commented on the rumors linking former Juve defender and captain Leonardo Bonucci with a move to the Italian capital.

“I remember that when I was in Rome it was always hard to go and play against Juve at the Stadium. Roma are coming off a great victory over Napoli, they had important absences but Mourinho still managed to get a result.”

“Mou is a great coach but he also knows that it won’t be easy because Juventus is in a good moment. I expect a tactical match with little to no scoring.”

“Bonucci? I wish Leo all the best, he would be happy at Roma. If he arrives, his experience and veteran status could be important for the team.”
