It was nothing short of a shock on Tuesday night when Barcelona were knocked out of the Uefa Champions League by AS Roma.
The Catalan club had arrived the Italian capital with a three-goal lead after winning the first leg 4-1 but that away goal told.
Edin Dzeko’s goal in the first half was doubled by a De Rossi penalty in the second half. The Italian team, smelling blood, did not, however, lose its defensive shape but bid its time.
It was rewarded with a third and qualification-assuring goal in the 82nd minute off a header by Mostas Manolas.
They become the third team in Champions League history to overturn a three-goal deficit.
It was a night of upsets as at the same time in England, Liverpool came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 (agg 5-1) to qualify for the semi-final.
