Simone Inzaghi has warned Lazio that “it’s only half-time” and “we still have to play out of our skins” against Roma in the Coppa Italia semi-finals on Tuesday.

Lazio lead Roma 2-0 from the first leg, but Inzaghi urged reporters to “ remember how Barcelona-Paris Saint-Germain went”, with the French giants squandering a 4-0 advantage.

“We’re ready for anything. It would be the most beautiful present for my 41st birthday,” the Coach, who turns 41 on Wednesday, said at a Press conference.
