Bernardo Corradi advised Rudi Garcia’s Roma on how to get the better of Manchester City tonight.

They go head-to-head at the Etihad in the Champions League and ex-City striker Corradi cast his eye over the situation.

“I know Manchester, but it was a totally different club when I was there,” Corradi told Calciomercato.it.

“This is the club owned by sheikhs who invested millions to buy so many players. Pellegrini’s squad is among the best in Europe and the Coach did a great job last season by winning the Premier League title.

“Now we’ll see if they are mature enough to do well in Europe too. That is the objective of the club. Roma won their opener 5-1 against CSKA Moscow, while Manchester City lost to Bayern Munich, so the English side will be forced to get the victory tonight.

“In order to get a result this evening, Roma must not try to adapt or change to suit their opponents. They have to play like Roma.

“As an Italian, I am disappointed the Giallorossi do not have a full squad to choose from, as the injuries will weigh on them.

“Mangala should be dropped after he had a terrible performance in the Premier League, so Demichelis will probably start at centre-back. City are quite slow at the back, so Roma’s rapid forwards can cause them a lot of problems.”

On Saturday Roma captain Francesco Totti celebrated his 38th birthday and is still going strong.

“It would be wonderful if Totti became the oldest player to score in the Champions League, even better if he did it in England, seeing as he has never scored there before.”
