Roma must advance to secure future, says Capello

AS ROMA coach Fabio Capello believes the ailing club's future rests on whether they can secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League tonight.

Roma, who lost their first three second phase matches, will qualify for the last eight if they beat Dutch champions Ajax and Valencia and Arsenal draw the night's other Group B match.

The Italians, who are lying in 10th position in Serie A after a disastrous season, can also book a quarter-final place if they beat Ajax 1-0 or 2-1 and Arsenal win in Spain.
