Champions League is back after 3 weeks for the penultimate fixture of the group stage. The GW4 was ended with some surprising results. Atletico Madrid wins over Dortmund at home, Belgrade win over Liverpool and Manchester United victory over Juventus at Turin was the totally unexpected result. After Dortmund, Juventus lost their last match and Barcelona drew at San Siro in GW4, no team has succeeded to continue their 100 percent winning record in Champions League. After the end of GW4, Group C of Champions league has now come in a very interesting situation. Every team from group C has the chance to reach in the round of 16 of the competition. The GW5 has now returned with some power pack fixtures and more teams will be looking to register their name in the last 16 of the competition. Without further ado, let's have a quick look at the match between AS Roma and Real Madrid.
The top two teams from group G will face each other Tuesday night. The Group G top team Real Madrid who had a very disappointing week has traveled to Roma to play their GW5 fixture. They have 9 points from 4 games. Currently, AS Roma is behind the Real Madrid based on head to head performance and Russian team CSKA Moscow is in the third position with only 4 points from 4 games and will play against Victoria Plzen at home. Real Madrid had lost their only match in the group stage against the third place team CSKA Moscow in GW3 while AS Roma lost their only match in the group stage against tonight’s opponent. Both AS Roma and Real Madrid have disappointing results this week in their respective domestic league matches. After being permanently appointed as a Los Blancos Boss, Santiago Solari has lost the first match as a Los Blancos permanent manager in an away fixture against Eiber. Eiber totally humiliated Real Madrid and win the match by 3-0. While Roma has lost their Serie A fixture against away to the 16th place Udinese by 1-0.
