Roma Stop's Barcelona to reach semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League
Shocking results from last night champions League as AS Roma beat Barcelona on away goals to progress to the semi-finals. They overwhelmed the Catalans from
start to finish. Roma for the first time all season, played with a back three made up of Jesus, Fazio and Kostas Manolas that dealt with Messi and Suarez. Dzeko was superb all night, he scored the only goal in the first half which came in 7th minutes and got a penalty was awarded to his team after he was pulled down by Gerald Pique. The referee after conferring with his assistant pointed to the spot and De Rossi scored in the 58th minutes to make up for the own goal scored in the first leg. At a point Barcelona tried to run down the clock and Suarez was booked for wasting time. Gomes came on for Iniesta but some after, the Stadio Olimpico erupts as Manolas sends a glancing
six-yard header into the net in the 83 minutes to seal Roma’s historic comebacks. Barca subsequently made changes, Dembélé and Alcaer on for Busquets and Semedo with five minutes plus stoppage time to score a goal but to no avail. Full-time whistle, Roma 3-0 Barcelona, Aggregate 4-4 -
