Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas admits “we need to improve in defence” after a 2-0 Champions League win over Roma.

The shot-stopper was decisive on Kostas Manolas and Diego Perotti, though Mohamed Salah and Edin Dzeko fired even better opportunities off target.

Roma had chances and in a tie like this conceding a goal can be very costly,” Navas told Mediaset Premium.

“We need to improve in defence, but the victory was deserved.”
