Pjanic insists Roma can be first to beat Juventus

AS Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic says they're capable of being the first team to beat Juventus.

The two teams meet tonight in Turin.

"Roma want to be the first to beat Juventus this season," smiled Pjanic on Sky Sport Italia .

"As a kid I watched Juve because Zinedine Zidane played there and I've always liked this team. They're having a great campaign and are difficult to face, as they are such a compact unit. They are back to the top level.

"Third place is still possible for us, as there are six important games left and this with Juve is one of the best to play in. It feels like a Champions League tie.

"They are fighting for the Scudetto, we are fighting for third, but we want to play a great game and hopefully end their unbeaten record.

"I have learned more from Luis Enrique than any other Coach in my career. I am happy here and am concentrated on doing my best."
