Real dumped out

The Italians led 2-1 from the first leg - and despite a goalless first half, the hosts' task was made more difficult when Pepe was sent off for a challenge on the edge of his penalty area in the 71st minute.

Two minutes later Roma's Rodrigo Taddei put the Italians further ahead in the tie - and although Raul gave Real hope soon afterwards, Mirko Vucinic's 90th-minute goal made it 4-2 on aggregate to end Madrid's interest in Europe.

Roma came closest early on when Alberto Aquilani crashed a 35-yard effort off Iker Casillas' right-hand upright and moments later, after the ball had been worked back to him on the edge of the area, produced a full-length save from the Madrid goalkeeper.

The Italians had a huge slice of luck within two minutes of the restart, the impressive Julio Baptista curling a 25-yard free-kick on to the angle of post and bar.

And after Mahamadou Diarra saw a 30-yard shot tipped over by Alexander Doni, Roma struck the woodwork again at the other end.

Max Tonetto escaped down the left and pulled it back for substitute Vucinic, who, with his first touch, hammered a first-time effort on to the bar with Casillas beaten.

The complexion of the match changed with 20 minutes to go when Pepe, who was already on a yellow card, was cautioned for a second time after a crude bodycheck on Vucinic.

It took Roma just three minutes to make the extra man count. Tonetto whipped over a cross from the left and Taddei got in front of Gabriel Heinze and guided his header into the right-hand corner but Madrid drew level even though Raul was clearly offside when Robinho slipped the ball through but the home captain ignored the appeals and coolly slotted past Doni from 18 yards.

Taddei came within inches of grabbing his second of the night with a far post header before Vucinic bravely got on the end of Christian Panucci's free-kick.
