AS Roma and Real Madrid clash in a crucial match to decide who tops Group G. Both teams come into the match on the back of surprising losses in their respective league games.
Real Madrid seemed to have finally found some consistency to their form after 4 victories in 4 matches under new manager Solari, but last weekend's crushing away defeat against Eibar has once again brought doom and gloom back to the Real Madrid fans.
AS Roma also seems to have the same problems as Real Madrid after their loss against Udinese in the weekend opened a 18 point gap between the league leaders and the 7th placed Roman side.
