“At this level every opponent is difficult,” he told Premium Sport after the draw.
“We have respect for everyone but we fear no one. We maintain the same confidence in Serie A and in the Champions League.
“Cristiano Ronaldo? We'll be ready for him and for Real Madrid.
“Fans at home against Real? This is not a deal – we need the help of the fans, it would be nice to have the Olimpico full.
“Napoli? We battled, we took a point. It’s not easy to play at the San Paolo, we always want to win but many have lost there.
“Szczesny? He made great saves against Napoli, he was really very good.”
