Miralem Pjanic prepares for CSKA Moscow and assures Roma “can have our say in a very tough group.”

The Giallorossi return to the Champions League and immediately face what is on paper their easiest fixture in a group with Bayern Munich and Manchester City.

“We need to be efficient and have the maximum concentration, because these are top level games and you can’t afford to get anything wrong,” Pjanic told the AS Roma Match Program.

“We must always give our all. Our group is very tough, but wonderful and of the highest level, so we believe that we can have our say.

“We know CSKA Moscow less than the other clubs in the group, but they have done well and need to be taken seriously.

“I am sure this is going to be a complicated match. We want to start with a win and play a season of success. I’d love to lift a trophy here.”

The opening Champions League game will be at the Stadio Olimpico and Pjanic trusts the fans will be decisive.

“Our supporters are fantastic and will give us a helping hand, not just in the Champions League, but also in Serie A.

“We have many games this season and must take it one day at a time. We can all give our contribution.”

Pjanic has fond memories of the Champions League, above all the time he scored against Real Madrid.

“My best game was the Round of 16 when I scored at the Bernabeu, a unique stadium. With that goal I allowed Lyon to move through to the quarter-finals.”
