“Did I expect Roma-Inter to be decisive for the Champions League?” Ljajic considered in an interview with Premium Sport.
“Before the beginning of the season I’d never have said that, because I thought Roma would be fighting for the Scudetto.
“But here we are, it’ll be a very important game, especially for us as we’re five points behind. We have to try and win to reach third place, which is very important for us.
“A grudge match? No, I was very happy at Roma. I had two wonderful years there and made many friends who will be with me for life.
“The city is beautiful and I love the club, but it’s a thing of the best. In my head now there’s only Inter.
“It’ll be a special game for me, I’ll experience many emotions, but I’m just thinking about giving everything for my team.
“Who will win? I don’t know, we’ll see.”
