The result makes it look like a routine victory for Madrid but it was anything but that as Roma had plenty of chances to score and played really well. However, goals from Ronaldo and Jese have ensured that Real Madrid will head back to the Santiago Bernabeu with a 2 goal lead

FT: Roma 0 - 2 Real Madrid

90+1' Rudiger plays an inviting delivery into the area from the right, but it catches Dzeko by surprise as he's unable to get on the end of it.

1 - Jesé Rodríguez has scored for the first time in #UCL in his 12th game for @realmadriden in the competition. Petrol.

82' NO PENALTY GIVEN! Roma have a strong case to argue here, and their appeals are not as desperate as they originally appeared! Florenzi takes a pass in the area and Carvajal slides through him, getting none of the ball, but the referee turns and jogs away!

88' Cristiano Ronaldo is taken off for Casemiro as Real Madrid look to hold on to their 2-0 lead

87' The impressive Florenzi comes off as Roma legend Totti comes on

86' Roma 0 -2 Real Madrid

85' GOOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! Jese the super sub scores! What a run by the young Spaniard! Jese runs through the Roma defence and finishes brilliantly to give Real Madrid a 0-2 lead.

83' WHAT A CHANCE FOR SALAH! Florenzi plays a wonderful pass into the path of Salah who was clean through on goal, but the Egyptian's first touch lets him down

81' Jese comes on for James Rodrigues who has had a mixed game today

80' CLOSE! Dzeko is certainly onside as he's played through by Perotti, but Varane does just enough to throw the substitute off as his shot strikes the side netting! Half the stadium thought that had gone in!

77' Daniele De Rossi comes on for Vainqueur

76' CLOSE! Delightful cross in from James, picking out Ronaldo at the far post, and although he's on a difficult angle, he really should be scoring from there! Instead his header bounces just beyond the far post.

73' CLOSE! That was nearly it! Exquisite hold up play from Dzeko inside the area, fending off Varane before teeing up Vanqueur. The midfielder strikes first-time, but it swerves agonisingly wide of the far post!

72' CHANCE! Salah proves a menacing figure yet again, using his pace to turn Marcelo and drive into the area. He picks his head up and drives a ball across goal for Dzeko, but Varane sticks a leg out to take the ball away from the forward! It comes back to the winger, but his second attempt is blocked as well!

His 12th goal in this season's #UCL his 89th overall in the competition, the board behind @Cristiano says it all. pic.twitter.com/lUNnzXvuyf

64' Kovacic comes on for Isco

65' CHANCE! Sergio Ramos gives the ball away in a dangerous position and it subsequently comes to Salah who can only send a scuffed shot on target

ROM 0-1 RMA (58') - Cristiano has scored in 17 out of 21 away matches in Champions League (27 in total).

44 - @Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 44 away goals in #UCL, at least nine more than any other player (Lionel Messi 35). Conqueror.

62' El Shaaraway comes off as Edin Dzeko comes on

61' Varane gets a yellow card for a poor challenge on Shaarawy

58' Roma 0 - 1 Real Madrid ( Ronaldo)

57' GOOOOOAAALLLLLLLLLLLL! Cristiano Ronaldo scores! All of Roma's good work is undone. Marcelo sends a pass into the path of Ronaldo, Ronaldo cuts in from the left wing and unleashes a powerful shot which deflects off Florenzi and settles in the top corner. Cruel on Florenzi there who has had a brilliant game

56' CLOSE! A remarkable diagonal ball is played 40 yards up the pitch by Florenzi, and taken brilliantly in stride by El Shaarawy. He breaks into the area and Navas is out to challenge, and the keeper does enough to close down the angle and turn the shot aside!

54' SHOT! finally we have a shot on target as Cravajal drives a low shot towards goal which is saved easily

52' The corner is once again defended easily by Madrid. The deliveries from set pieces have been poor by Pjanic today

51' Florenzi, Salah and Perroti are playing really well for Roma here as the home side win aother corner

49' Good break from Roma as Naingollan's shot is deflected behind for a corner

47' Salah has looked really bright today and he might be the one to create or score a goal for Roma tonight

46' The second half is underway. Will we see a goal this half ?

0 - @realmadrid failed to have a shot on target in the 1st half of a CL game for the 1st time since May 2011 against Barcelona. Muzzled.

HALF-TIME: All square between @ASRomaEN and @realmadriden. Madrid with plenty of the ball, Roma a threat on the break. Nicely poised. #UCL

Although the game has not had a shot on target, it is still being played at a very high tempo and is a very watchable game

HT: Roma 0 - 0 Real Madrid

45' 1 minute has been added on as we still search for the game's first goal

Meanwhile in the other game tonight Draxler scored to give Wolfsburg the lead against Gent

43' BLOCK! This time it is from Real Madrid's Varane. Shaarawy had broken away and he would have found Naingollan in front of goal but for that crucial interception

41' BLOCK! Carvajal continues to provide strong support on the overlap, and makes another prominent run before picking out Benzema in the centre. The striker lays it off to Ronaldo in space, but Florenzi is able to lunge over and turn the forward's shot aside!

37' Neither goalkeeper has had to make a save as there is a lack of clear-cut chances for both the teams

34' Roma win a corner and the noise in the stadium goes up immediately. However the resultant corner is poor and gathered easily by Keylor Navas
