PARIS, December 8: Real Madrid shot back to winning ways with a rousing 3-1 beating of Norway’s Rosenborg in the European Champions League in front of a hardcore 18,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Two goals from Savio and a late strike by his Brazilian compatriot Roberto Carlos last night brought some cheer to club president Lorenzo Sanz, who bore the brunt of angry fans following a 5-1 home defeat against Real Zaragoza at the weekend leaving them in 17th spot in the Spanish table.

Holland’s Feyenoord fought back after skipper Kees Vanwonderen was sent off in the seventh minute, to win 3-0 at home to nine-man Marseille, though Chelsea top Group D with Lazio second following a goalless draw in Rome during which Chelsea had coach Gianluca Vialli sent off for arguing with the fourth match official on the touchline.

Real are keeping their fingers crossed that history can repeat itself as in their current campaign they have met no less than four teams whom they overcame a couple of seasons ago ontheir way to their seventh European Cup win at the expense of Juventus — one team they cannot meet this time round.
