Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco and captain Daniele de Rossi gave a presser at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday before the sides meet in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Asked about a Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo, who departed to Juventus this summer, Di Francesco said: "We have to remember that Real in its footballing life it was known as Real Madrid not as Real Ronaldo, I'm convinced of this. And for this reason, I'm sure it will go on winning like it did in the past. I hope not tomorrow."
Roma captain Daniele De Rossi also dismissed talks that Real Madrid is weaker without Ronaldo, saying: "There are so many strong opponents that I won't have the feeling of relief and release of not seeing Ronaldo anymore. Maybe if they had sold another eight or nine players, then maybe yes."
The clash between Real Madrid and AS Roma for the start of Group G in the 2018 Champions League is scheduled for Wednesday, September 19.
