Luis Enrique insists the 3-0 scoreline did not reflect the real game. “I did not see Roma in any way inferior to Juventus.”

The Giallorossi were swept aside in tonight’s Coppa Italia quarter-final in Turin and saw Erik Lamela sent off for an off the ball incident with Giorgio Chiellini.

“We made a few mistakes on the first goal, then on the second Alessandro Del Piero came up with a wonderful finish,” said the Spaniard.

“The result is bad for us, but we must continue to work, because we are on the right track. I did not see Roma in any way inferior to Juventus, but the details make the difference.

“We made life difficult for ourselves by being caught out on through balls in the first two goals.”
