Madrid welcome Roma at the Bernabeu - Champions League Derby

Highlights: Real Madrid 1 - 2 AS Roma Highlights

Real Madrid will try to eliminate AS Roma from the Champions League tonight. Yes, I talk about the second leg game in the battle Real Madrid vs AS Roma. The match will be hosted at the Santiago Bernabeu and will kick-off at 20.45 CET. This Champions League game can be seen live online for free if you follow the following steps. Just click on the live streams provided below and the channels will load automatically. Make sure that you have the needed peer-to-peer players installed on your computer.

Real Madrid need to turn the aggregate around tonight if they don’t want to spoil a good season in this last part of the competition year. Bernd Schuster’s side will probably start the game attacking and will try to find the qualifying goal. A 1-0 would allow the home side to qualify for the next round as they have scored an away goal in Italy. But we all know that Real Madrid can’t defend, so I expect for them to attack the whole evening and get at least a 2 goals advantage if they can. Yes, extra-time is also likely.

AS Roma is a team that showed good shape coming into this game. They will probably play in the Italian style and try to score on the counter-attack. It pretty much depends on the luck tonight. If Real’s brakes their defense early, then Roma might have many problems. But if Luciano Spalletti’s side keeps the goalless draw until the later stages of the game, bigger and bigger spaces will appear in Madrid’s defense.

Don’t miss the live coverage in order to see what happens! The match starts at 20.45 CET.

AS Roma
AS Roma show a positive shape going into this Champions League battle. The 4-0 Serie A home win against Parma should have boosted their moral. They also managed a draw against Inter Milan in an away game. AS Roma lead that meeting with Inter and should have won it if Inter wouldn’t have scored the equalizer in the last minutes of the game. Roma are 6 points away from the first Serie A spot occupied by Inter at the moment.
