Roma captain Francesco Totti believes the Giallorossi were unlucky to lose to Manchester United and has issued a veiled threat to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The build-up to the Old Trafford clash was focused on the Eternal City outfit’s desire for revenge after last year’s 7-1 humiliation.
United’s Portuguese star Ronaldo intensified emotions by claiming that Roma players “begged him to stop” during the Magica’s night of ignominy.
Ronaldo went off bleeding after being struck by Mirko Vucinic’s elbow, but Totti has implied that he will receive much harsher treatment in the return game.
“We didn’t say anything to Ronaldo regarding his comments in the last few days,” Er Pupone revealed.
“I can assure you that the elbow he took from Vucinic was an accident, but now he has to come to the Olimpico…”
Luciano Spalletti’s side battled hard but lost 1-0 and were left to rue the referee’s decision not to award a penalty for what seemed to be a foul on Amantino Mancini.
“Compared to last season, we played much better,” Totti continued. “We controlled the pitch better and we ran the play.
“We even got a penalty that wasn’t given. All in all, we didn’t deserve to lose.”
Manchester United travel to Rome on December 12 and Totti will be determined to ensure that it is a nightmare before Christmas for the Giallorossi's new public enemy No 1.
