Gareth Bale, Real Madrid Win Champions League Group with 2-0 Win vs. AS Roma

Gareth Bale and Lucas Vazquez were both on target for Real Madrid in a 2-0 UEFA Champions League win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday.

The victory means the holders have secured top spot in Group G ahead of the final round of fixtures, Roma also go through as runners-up despite the defeat.

Viktoria Plzen's 2-1 win over CSKA Moscow earlier in the day ensured both teams could not be caught at the top of Group G before the game had kicked off in Rome.

The result meant the pressure was off, but neither team could find a goal in a lively first half.
