Barcelona left-back Lucas Digne says he would not be playing for the Spanish giants if it was not for Roma.
Digne moved to the LaLiga titleholders ahead of the 2016-17 LaLiga season, arriving from French champions Paris Saint-Germain.
And it is a period in Digne's career for which he will be forever grateful.
"It was a fantastic year [in Roma], because of the love of the fans," Digne - who has amassed 19 appearances in all competitions in his debut season at Camp Nou - said in an exclusive interview with Omnisport.
"The club gave me a lot of confidence and I thank them because without them I would not be here, so it's been amazing."
Digne, however, believes Luciano Spalletti's men are capable of overhauling Juventus.
"I don't know if it's too hard [to catch up with Juve]. Juve have had a great team for many years, this club is working well in every aspect," Digne continued.
"But Roma have been doing well for three-four years, so they are catching up little by little, last year they did very well. This year they're not too far, so they might be able to do something."
