Roma begin a very important stretch this evening at Feyenoord in the Europa League.

Rudi Garcia’s team will face the Dutch in the second leg of their last 32 tie in Rotterdam and then return home to meet Serie A leaders Juventus four days later.

The Giallorossi are nine points adrift of Juventus in the scudetto race and must win that game to have a realistic chance of competing for the Italian title.

Right now, all of the focus is on Feyenoord, a team Roma drew 1-1 with at the Olimpico last week.

“We want to qualify to the next round,” Garcia told the Italian press ahead of the tie.

“Our focus is on our next game and not on the match against Juve.

“We are going to Rotterdam to win although a 2-2 draw would also be good for us. But we need to score on Thursday (today).”

Roma have drawn six of their last seven games in all competitions and a lack of goalscoring has been their biggest problem.

The Giallorossi have not scored more than two goals since November.

“We need to score more goals,” Garcia said.

“We are just missing the finishing touch. The players need to be more patient up front in order to make the most of our chances.”

Roma have failed to win in their last six European away games.

Feyenoord , meanwhile, have a four-game European winning streak at their Feijenoord Stadion.

Fred Rutten’s side heads into the contest after a 3-2 triumph over Excelsior at the weekend.

The victory allowed Feyenoord to remain third in the Eredivisie, level on 44 points with AZ Alkmaar, who are fourth.

Elsewhere, Inter coach Roberto Mancini hopes his players will be fully focused from start to finish against Celtic at the San Siro.

The Nerazzurri held the Scottish champions to a 3-3 draw in Glasgow last week in the first leg of their round of 32 clash.

“We need maximum concentration for this game,” Mancini said.

“The 3-3 in the first leg gives us a slight advantage. But we need to be fully focused because Celtic is a type of team that never gives up.”
