Real back on track after surgical rout of Roma

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said he was happy his side advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday after being given a scare by Roma en route to a 2-0 win at Santiago Bernabeau that sealed a 4-0 aggregate victory.

Goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez during a four-minute blitz in the second half secured the triumph.

However, Roma was left to rue a host of clear-cut chances to get back into the tie as Mohamed Salah missed two one-on-ones with Keylor Navas and Edin Dzeko sliced a glorious chance just wide.
