Roma manager Rudi Garcia has said that the pressure is on Manchester City ahead of their Champions League meeting on Tuesday evening.

The Giallorossi started their European campaign by claiming a 5-1 win against CSKA Moscow, while the Premier League champions suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich.

"It will be a fantastic event," Garcia told reporters. "They have zero points and a lot of pressure on their shoulders, so they need to get a result on home turf."

"We are solid and this squad proved it has confidence in its abilities. This group is ready to handle the difficult moments when they come.

"We are fortunate to be able to face two of the strongest teams in Europe. We must enjoy this moment and be protagonists."

Roma have never won the European Cup and reached their only final in 1984.
