Ahead of their top of the table clash, Daniele De Rossi has admitted Roma must beat Juventus on Monday
The two in the Serie A table go head-to-head at the Stadio Olimpico, and despite the Scudetto looking out of reach for Roma, De Rossi insists the Giallorossi still have to win.
“We had imagined a different situation in the table, and we were hoping that this would be a chance to overtake Juventus in the league,” the 31-year-old told Sky Sport Italia.
“Unfortunately we fell asleep during the season, but we have to win on Monday night.”
The Italian also said that part of the reason that Roma haven’t had such a strong season is down to absentees from the squad.
“Injuries played a part,” he said. “There were too many and inevitably we were damaged.”
