His Roma counterpart, Luciano Spalletti, believed that his side's narrow defeat to Valencia was a missed opportunity to grab three points.
"In the first half we played good football," Spalletti said.
"However in the second we didn't play as well. But even if it is down to inexperience we are going to have to learn fast," he said.
That could certainly be words echoed by Mancini but for British clubs it appears that they are well over the learning curve.
