The Italians toasted an improbable last-gasp equaliser against Atletico Madrid and now turn their eyes to Parkhead.
Wary Maurizio Sarri admits he will retreat to his Lazio bunker to forensically study Celtic as he expects a battle for the ages in Glasgow.
The Italians toasted an improbable last-gasp equaliser against Atletico Madrid as goalkeeper Ivan Provedei netted and now the former Chelsea manager's gaze turns to Glasgow for matchday two. It has been an uneven start to the season for the Romans as they adjust to life after star turn Sergej Milinkovic-Savic after his move to Saudi Arabia. And the point against Atleti gives them a foothold in Group E ahead of taking Premiership champions.
And Sarri is certain a sizeable challenge awaits as he reunites with Brendan Rodgers with the pair previously duking it out during their days at Chelsea and Leicester City. Speaking after the madcap finish against Atleti, he said: “All the matches are important. Usually in Scotland, the games are not easy. But we will have to study the opposition.”
Meanwhile, Alistair Johnston views the 2-0 defeat to Feyenoord as an "opportunity lost" as he aims to make up for it matchday two. He said: There were some moments in the match we’ll look back and try to learn from and regret a little bit," said the Canada right-back. We gave them a good game until it gets difficult when you go down to 10 and then nine men. You really shoot yourselves in the foot.
“But I was really proud with what we put out there and there was building blocks to build on, especially with a lot of guys who stepped up as we’ve had a lot of injuries. We’re not using that as an excuse but there were a lot of guys who, like me, were playing their first Champions League match. They really stepped up and played a big part. It feels like an opportunity lost, but there are a lot of good things to take away. We’ve just got to be a bit more ruthless.
