Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic has backed his team to reach the last 16 of the Champions League following their draw with Manchester City.

The Italians are now three points ahead of third-placed City in Group E after coming from behind to clinch a share of the spoils at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

With City and group leaders Bayern Munich still to travel to the Stadio Olimpico, Pjanic is confident that Roma will be in the next round of the competition.

"The draw was well deserved and we could have got more out of the game," he told Sky Sport Italia. "Still, the result is a positive one. We're going well in the group.

"We are sure of our strength. Ours is a complicated group. However, City and Bayern still have to come to our home. We believe in ourselves and we know that we can go through."

Roma are back in Serie A action on Sunday when they travel to champions Juventus.
