Roma and Milan played out a goalless draw, and Claudio Ranieri paid tribute to the Rossoneri after the match.

Speaking to SKY, Ranieri said, "We were a little tired, and Pizarro and De Rossi were not in perfect condition."

"We started well, but then Milan started controlling the ball and it was difficult to win it back. In the first half we didn't give them much, and in the second they had two chances.

"Leonardo is an excellent person, he is good for football.

"They have players of high quality, who play with one or two touches, and I wish them well against Manchester."

Roma remain three points behind Milan, in third place.
