"Real" Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was pleased with his team's performance, as they defeated "Roma" in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals away from home. After a tough first half, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brilliant goal in the 57th minute to put the visitors ahead, and Jese Rodriguez secured the victory later on after coming off the bench. Events could have taken a different turn, as Alessandro Florenzi was close to earning a penalty kick for "giallorossi" with only one goal deficit. "In the Champions League, it's important to score and not concede - that's exactly what we did," Zidane told UEFA.com. "We are a team. Players who play less are just as important, because together we will achieve something." "It was a tough match against a good team. The first half was difficult for us." "After the break, we created opportunities and played much better."
