Luciano Spalletti has warned Roma not to let the euphoria of knocking Real Madrid out of the Champions League get the better of them.Spalletti's side upset nine-time winners Real out of Europe on Wednesday, when a 2-1 win at the Bernabeu completed a 4-2 aggregate victory.

That result means Roma will take their place in the draw for the quarter-finals, but Spalletti does not want his players to get carried away with the European success for fear it might distract them from their domestic goals.

Roma are currently second in Serie A, six points behind leaders Internazionale heading into this weekend's match at Napoli, while the Giallorossi are also still on course to defend their Coppa Italia title, with a semi-final showdown against Catania to look forward to.

"We need to have both feet on the ground and take it day by day," Spalletti said.

"We need to manage this situation correctly. Too much euphoria could be dangerous.

"The immediate objective is to think about the league, and now we have a match against Napoli coming up."

Reflecting on his side's two 2-1 victories over Real, Spalletti felt Roma were deserving winners in the end, even though he admits they were "made to suffer" in Wednesday's second leg in Spain.

"They (Real) have tried to be aggressive, but we have not conceded anything to Madrid," said Spalletti.

"I can only congratulate my team. I expected a difficult game, our intention was to take the game to Madrid and this is what we have done.

"Both teams have played well and that makes this victory even more valuable. We have not stolen the tie, we have deserved to go through."
