Champions League: Roma shock Barcelona with massive comeback

In one of the biggest upsets of 2018, Italian outfit AS Roma stunned the mighty Barcelona in the Champions League, overturning a heavy 4-1 defeat from the first leg to advance to the semi-finals of Europe's elite tournament. Roma boasts an impressive record at home and they beat the Catalans 3-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in the Italian capital. Here's our match report.

4-1 first leg loss
Hard to believe Roma sent Barcelona crashing out of Europe

The first leg at Camp Nou turned out to be a disaster for Roma as two own goals from De Rossi and Manolas along with Gerard Pique and Luis Suarez's strikes lead Barcelona to a comfortable victory. The only consolation for the Italians was the crucial lone goals scored by Edin Dzeko which had the final say in the fixture.

Dzeko exposes sloppy Barcelona

Roma had slender changes of making it past Barcelona, but the Italians did not give up easily in the second leg. Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko opened the scoring in the sixth minute to send a fully filled stadium into a frenzy.

Heroes they need
De Rossi and Manolas strikes complete comeback

But as history has it, De Rossi and Manolas, who were villains with their own goals in the 4-1 loss, reminded fans that not all heroes wear capes. Rossi stepped up to score a penalty, whereas a header by Manolas in the 82nd minute completed the remarkable comeback. Barcelona had no answers, they couldn't decipher what just happened, indeed the night belonged to Roma.
