De Rossi ready for return legRoma star Daniele De Rossi could not hide his excitement following the 2-1 victory and is confident they can put in a good performance at Old Trafford in the return leg.
Speaking after the match De Rossi said: It was certainly a wonderful evening and Roma had not lived through a night like this for many years. We managed to coincide the event with a victory, which was the icing on the cake.
It was a calculated risk. Cristiano Ronaldo is technically very gifted and once he turns he is away, so we had to try to limit his movement right from the start,
I can certainly say that Roma the one we saw tonight scared Manchester United and Im not sure they expected us to be ready for this appointment. The fact we did so well despite being debutants at this level will definitely boost our confidence even more.
He added: Ive seen Old Trafford on television and it is a fascinating stadium, but more than the atmosphere we will focus on the field and trying to get into the semi-final.
