Its soon Real Madrid - AS Roma again. Roma have 2-1 to go and Madrid have to beat the Italians to go wider in the CL.

Real Madrid are 'down in the valley' atm. The last six matches, they've lost 4 of them...and against weaker teams on the table. There are big injure problems in the squad too.

Arjen Robben, Wesley Sneijder, Sergio Ramos and Christoph Metzelder will not play Wednesdays match.

Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Pepe, Robinho, Guti, Salgado and Drenthe are not 100 % fit after injures, and some of them will perhaps start on the bench.

I had been very optimistic if Madrid had played their full team, because then they're a better side than Roma, but so many injures on keyplayers will create unstability and that have sent Madrid in a bad situation atm.

I think Roma have a great chance to kick out Los Merengues from Europe. But how is the situation in Rome? Will you arrive with your best men?
