The Italians never looked overawed by nine times European champions Madrid. Spanish champions Real, fell behind to a flying Taddei header in the 73rd minute, shortly after having central defender Pepe sent off.
Roma’s passage to the last eight was sealed by an injury time heade by substitute Mirko Vucinic after a Raul goal in the 75th menite had briefly restored Real’s hopes.
Michael Ballack, Frank Lampard and Salomon Kalou settled a one-sided game at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea joined Premier League rivals Arsenal and Manchester United in the last eight.
If Liverpool beat Inter Milan when they visit the Italian Champions with a 2-0 first-leg lead next Tuesday then all four English teams will be through to the quarter-finals.
