AS Roma captain Francesco Totti has denied attacking Juventus in the press.
Totti insists he has great respect for Juve - and particularly Alessandro del Piero. He said before last night's clash: "Del Piero is a great player, he never created controversy, despite being on the bench.
"I can see us playing well together - and I have not ever said that Juve are unpleasant."
Totti also commented on player comparisons: "Maradona is better than Pelè, I prefer Robinho to Messi. The Brazilian from Real Madrid plays my type of game, a fantasy, skill and instinct.
"But, for sure, Italy does not have to envy to anybody."
