“It’ll be like a normal game. We’ll be playing against a great team, but for us it’ll be a normal game,'' he told reporters according to Football Italia.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Cristiano Ronaldo might not be exchanging his shirt with a Roma player this weekend when they square off with Juventus.
