“We must repeat the kind of performance we put in against Barcelona, stay concentrated at the back and not concede any goals,” Manolas told Sky Sport Italia and Roma TV.

“Lazio have proved this season that they pretty much always find the back of the net, they are the top scorers in Serie A, so we must prove that our defence is solid as a rock.

“I’ve watched the Barcelona game back many times, I will admit. We’re so happy, we are in the Champions League semi-final and hope to build on that this evening.

“We must use it to be aware of our strength, our potential and capabilities. We did well with the 3-4-2-1 formation in that game, so the Coach did well to confirm it tonight.”
