Ashley Cole: 'Manchester City will be under pressure against Roma'

Roma defender Ashley Cole has claimed that tonight's Champions League opponents Manchester City will be under pressure after losing their opener against Bayern Munich two weeks ago.

The German giants scored a last-minute winner against Manuel Pellegrini's side to win the game 1-0 and leave the Etihad outfit facing an uphill task to progress in the competition.

Cole told BBC Sport: "There's a lot of pressure on City. They have big players and are hungry to win the Champions League.

"We are probably the underdogs but we will give it everything and will give them a tough game.

"If we win it will make it more difficult for them to catch up and will probably make us top of the group and put us in good stead for qualifying."
