Real Madrid coach Solari: Roma clash an acid test

Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari says their Champions League clash with Roma is an "acid test".

But he insists it's nothing unusual at Real.

Solari said, "At this club, every match and training session represents an acid test. Throughout the club's history, Real Madrid have had to overcome many tests and when they fall, they always recover, that's why this is the most decorated club in the history of the game. That has to be our mentality.

"We'll have to perform as we always do in the Champions League and produce a display that matches our heritage in this competition. The Éibar result was a real setback, but that's in the past now. We've analysed the performance and will be trying to improve on it. Things move on very quickly and we've got another game tomorrow, in another competition, and that's where our focus and energy has to be."
