Speaking to media, after the game,Varane suggested   referee could have easily avoided sending off.

“I always play fair, I don’t play to hurt the opponent. Neither of the incidents deserved a yellow card. I respect the refereeing team but it wasn’t fair. I jump to play the ball and I get above him. I don’t intend to hit the opponent.

“The most important thing is that the team has responded well and put in a good performance against a difficult opposition. We need this continuity and we want to fight until the end. It’s important to win at home, we have to continue on this path. The Champions League is very important and we want to fight for both competitions.”

While German international, Toni Kroos hailed Real Madrid fans for pumping up the players, and serving as a extra man for home side.

“Our aim is to win all games. We have to be happy with the win because we had a lot of chances on goal against opponents that pressured high up. We always have our fans behind the team and at home the support is spectacular. We have to play just as well away too.

All games are important and against Roma we have to do as well as possible. These are two very important games because they give us the chance to advance to the next round of the Champions League.
