The Giallorossi lost the first leg of this Champions League quarter-final 4-1 at Camp Nou.

“It’ll be difficult, but we have the duty to attempt a remuntada,” the director of sport told Mediaset Premium.

Eusebio Di Francesco has Radja Nainggolan back and uses a 3-4-1-2 system with Schick’s Champions League debut alongside Edin Dzeko.

“The Coach decided to change a few things and put his faith in Schick. We hope this can be an important night for the club’s history.

“After a year of working at Roma, I know the club better, and as always believe more in hard work than money in sport. When it comes to the future, the present is fundamental.”
