Roma striker Mattia Destro is excited to see
his side test themselves against Bayern
Munich on Tuesday.
The Serie A title challengers have returned
to the UEFA Champions League for the first
time since 2011 this season and have made
a bright start to their campaign.
A 5-1 Group E demolition of CSKA Moscow
was followed by an encouraging 1-1 draw
at Premier League champions Manchester
City last month.
That sets the capital club up nicely for the
challenge of facing Bayern - Champions
League winners in 2012-13 and semi-
finalists last term.
Destro scored in the fourth minute of
Roma's 3-0 win against Chievo on Saturday,
a result that was the ideal response to a 3-2
loss at three-time defending Serie A
champions Juventus.
And Roma's latest win has Destro excited
ahead of the visit of Pep Guardiola's Bayern.
"It will be a wonderful match," the striker
told Sky Sport Italia. "We'll be in front of our
own fans, so we can't wait.
"We were convinced [about our credentials]
from the start of the season. We'll go
through our journey and see where we end
up.
"We play every weekend and try to impose
our football, always going for victory."
Destro's thoughts were echoed by Roma
coach Rudi Garcia, who said he "really can't
wait" to play the Bundesliga champions.
Roma will also be wary of Manchester City,
who sit third in the pool but have back-to-
back clashes against CSKA Moscow on the
horizon.
Bayern, meanwhile, top Group E after
successive 1-0 triumphs and have won
their last five matches in all competitions.
They have not conceded since August and
thrashed rock-bottom Werder Bremen 6-0
in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with captain
Philipp Lahm scoring a rare double.
Guardiola expressed his delight afterwards
at how well his players had responded to
international duty.
Robert Lewandowski was an unused
substitute in the six-goal romp while Franck
Ribery only played the last 29 minutes as
Guardiola kept one eye on the European
challenge ahead.
Bastian Schweinsteiger has finally returned
to training after a knee injury but will not
appear, while a recurrence of Thiago
Alcantara's own knee problem has him
sidelined indefinitely.
The two sides met in Roma's last
Champions League campaign - Bayern
winning 2-0 in Munich in September 2010
before overturning a two-goal deficit to
win the return clash 3-2 source: http://pulse.ng/sports/football/champions-league-preview-roma-v-bayern-munich-id3208194.html
