Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez scored second-half goals to help Real Madrid defeat Roma 2-0 and advance to the Champions League quarterfinals for the sixth consecutive season on Tuesday. Ronaldo scored his 13th goal of the tournament by turning home a cross by substitute forward Lucas Vazquez in the 64th and Rodriguez added to the lead four minutes later with a low shot from inside the area to give Madrid a 4-0 aggregate victory. Roma had a few clear chances before Madrid scored but could not capitalize on them to reverse the 2-0 loss in Rome, failing in its attempt to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in eight years.
