Roma man Romelu Lukaku spoke to Sky Sport a few minutes prior to kick-off to the second leg with Bayer Leverkusen.

In his pre-match interview, Lukaku said, “I think we have to play an intelligent game today, but we have the players to do it.”

“We have to be strong in ball possession, we studied them during film sessions and we are ready for this,” he added.

“Pressure? It comes with this sport. But it’s nice to play matches like this. Tonight we’re only focused on this game and then we’ll look ahead.”
