AFTER 29 years, Real Madrid has finally beaten an Italian team in the Champions League qualifying round.
The mission was accomplished as the Zinedine Zidane squad won 2-0 against Roma in the second leg of the Champions League round 16.
The whites, who won thanks to their brilliant counterattack, suffered more than expected as Roma had several chances of getting ahead in the game, especially during the first half of the match.
