When you are matched up against the club that accounts for 16% of the Champions League trophies in the entirety of humanity, your back is against the wall. That is where Roma find themselves as they welcome Real Madrid to Rome, hoping to get a head start on what will be a rather difficult return leg.
Roma finished second in their group behind Madrid’s rival Barcelona and it begs to be mentioned that they held Barca to a 1-1 draw in Italy. Much of that was thanks to the heroics of Wojciech Szczesny in goal. If the Pole can be a pest, he could give Roma something to be excited about going into the second leg.

Real Madrid are not too keen on being third favorites behind Barcelona and Bayern Munich, but none of that matters anymore. All they can do is take care of business against Roma and go from there. Real sit third in La Liga, not where they like to see themselves very often.
This will be Zinedine Zidane’s first go-around in the Champions League and you can bet Los Blancos will be looking to grab a win for their near head man. Given all the problems that Rafa Benitez ran into with the club, keeping Zidane’s record as blemish-free as possible has to be objective number one.
Both sides boast a considerable history in the competition, but as mentioned, no one wins this more than Real Madrid.
