Roma captain Totti insists no Garcia tension

AS Roma captain Francesco Totti has spoken of his bust-up with coach Rudi Garcia.

The pair clashed during victory over Torino.

"It was an instinctive reaction. I was suspended for the next match, Torino stopped playing and I could smell goals, and so there was a little bad feeling," Totti said.

"These things happen, however, and it stopped there. In the dressing room, we cleared the air immediately.

"Our goal is to win the League title. The team are even stronger than a year ago and Garcia, the boss, says we are better than Juventus, but it's up to us to prove it.

"And Napoli? They are the third strongest - it will be a duel between Roma and Juventus."
