Radja Nainggolan felt Roma “sent a signal to ourselves that last time was just a one-off” against Bayern Munich.
The Giallorossi were beaten 2-0, but it was a huge step forward from their 7-1 home drubbing.
“We are aware that Bayern are a couple of steps ahead of us,” the Belgium international told Sport Mediaset.
“We tried to adapt to their style of football and generally didn’t allow them many clear opportunities, so today we proved that we are a team who can play this way too.
“The important thing tonight was to send a signal to ourselves that last time was just a one-off. We showed that we are also capable of defending and counter-attacking, while we wasted a few chances.
“We are still second and things are not that bad. We got the approach wrong that time, wanting to take the initiative and conceded two early goals that made everything more complicated.
“It’s not as if a defeat to Napoli means everything has collapsed, as they are a strong side and these things can happen. If we play with this determination, we can do well.”
