Champions, Rome collapses with Real but flies for the second round

The fifth day of Group G of the Champions League, thein Rome, he lost 2-0 to Real Madrid against Olimpico, but qualified second in the second round thanks to Plzen's victory against CSKA. First half discreet Giallorossi, who devour the purpose of the advantage in recovery: Under all only high kick. The recovery opens with the gift of Fazio to Bale: it remains 1-0. Roma leaves the field and the Spaniards overtake with Vazquez (59 & # 39;).

The game

Bad in the league and even in the Champions League, the only corner of paradise in a really complicated start to the season. It's really a difficult time for Roma, a sick team to say to Di Francesco, but after tonight risks falling into a coma. For the Giallorossi, the only good news of a night to forget comes before taking the first place: the victory of Viktoria Plzen in Moscow is worth the qualification for the second round for both teams. At Olimpico, there is a prize – something of little importance – first place in round G. A good Czech gift to Di Francesco and Francesco Totti, pbaded under the southern curve to formally part of the Temple of the Giallorossi club's fame.

Real de Solari is not exceptional, even if you compare it to the one who gave three slaps to the first leg in the first leg, but you can not give gifts to a team that has always won the last three editions . Manolas and his companions play a good first game and after half an hour take the advantage: the only mistake not to do is not to find the goal, lack of malice emphasized by the coach. Eve. The damn minute for the hosts is 47: in the first time Sous, well served by Zaniolo (the best of his with Olsen), misses a goal by a few steps, which is incredible. At the beginning of the recovery, however, Fazio has the unfortunate back to trigger Bale, who does not forgive. The goal is immediately a blow and Rome almost disappears from the field: the team splits in two, the Real plays against the attack as it pleases and before the blow of the hour of the game is doubled: Benzema is a tower, Vazquez is inexplicably left alone and Olsen dry a few centimeters ago.

The black night is completed by the injury of El Shaarawy: the attacker came out at 22 "after a clash in the area with Carvajal. His presence at Inter is uncertain, like that of Dzeko. There is really no peace for Di Francesco this Sunday night will play a nice part of his future on Giallorossi's bench with many defections.

Report Cards

Less than 4 – The goal that fails in the first half is really incredible and affects the second half of his teammates. A blow to his morale is not indifferent.
Fazio 4 – His mistake is even more serious than that of Under: the back pbadage is a madness, especially for one of his experiences.
Olsen 7 – It will not be Alisson, but the whole parable: good on Modric, Bale and Benzema, irreproachable on the conceded goals.

Ball 6.5 – After an anonymous first half, has the merit of unlocking the match. Fazio's gift is too inviting not to be thrown away.
Courtois 6.5 – Gratified by Under, good a few minutes before on Schick. Then he does not run too much danger, but he is always careful.
Lucas Vazquez 6.5 – Favorite to Asensio and Isco (completed even in the bleachers), shows Solari to deserve the confidence needed to reach the 2-0 goal that sends the Roma under the shower in advance.
