Real Madrid vs. AS Roma: Goals and Highlights from 2016 Champions League Game

AS Roma travelled to the Spanish capital on Tuesday faced with the daunting task of overturning a 2-0 deficit against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League last 16.

Edin Dzeko had a great early chance for the Italians but could only find the side-netting:

While Mohamed Salah was equally wasteful:

Into the second half and Roma were soon made to pay, Lucas Vazquez beating his man and teeing up Cristiano Ronaldo to extend Real's aggregate advantage:

Ronaldo then suffered a rare moment of impotence when he screwed wide from a great position:
