Marcello Lippi has predicted that Arsenal, Manchester
United and Chelsea will be dumped out of the Champions League by
their Italians adversaries.
The Premier League trio secured positive results in the first
leg, with Arsenal and Chelsea claiming 1-0 victories and United
bagging a goalless draw.
But Italy head coach Lippi expects Roma, Juventus and Inter to
win and go through to the next round next week.
“I’m convinced that it only depends on the Italian teams," he
said.
“If they present themselves with 100 percent of their technical
and physical potential, all three teams will go through.
“On the other hand, if they are weakened by the absence of five
or six players, like Roma against Arsenal, it will be another
story.
“There are still 90 minutes to play and we should not be
over-confident. Nothing’s done yet and surprises can occur.”
