#4 Real Madrid v AS Roma
AS Roma, CSKA Moscow and FC Viktoria Plzen - these are the three teams the giants from the Spanish capital will face. Though the group does not possess much prowess to intimidate a team that makes winning the UEFA Champions League look almost easy, it would be foolish to take AS Roma lightly.
I Giallorossi were placed in a tough group last season with the then Premier League defending champions Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. They surprised everyone and qualified for the next round, where they edged past Shakhtar Donetsk. The real surprise came in the quarter-finals, where they came back from a 4-1 defeat against FC Barcelona to win 4-4 on aggregate.
They went down fighting against Liverpool in the semis, who won the tie by the slimmest margins. Now, they must recreate the magic against the Barcelona's rivals, the highly respected Los Merengues, who unlike last year, will be without the services of their talisman Cristiano Ronaldo.
