History! 

3 - @OfficialASRoma have become only the third side in Champions League history to overturn a 3+ goal deficit after the first leg in the knockout stages to progress after Deportivo vs Milan in 2003-04 and Barcelona vs PSG last season. Heroic. #RomaBarcellona pic.twitter.com/0CSYN2lWDE

FT: AS Roma 3-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 4-4, Roma win on away goals rule)

WHAT A SHOCK! Roma have knocked out Barcelona after being 4-1 down from the first leg. This is just the second time they will play a semi-final of the European Cup and the first one in the Champions League era. They were the betterr team over the two legs and deserved to go through to the semi-finals. What anight for the Roma fans. Truly incredible!

FT:  Manchester City 1-2 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-5)

Liverpool are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League after massive 5-1 aggregate scoreline. Over the two leges City were outplayed by a clinical Liverpool team. The Reds are back in the semi-finals after 10 years

90’ AS Roma 3-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 4-4, Roma lead on away goals rule)

Four minutes added on and Roma almost commit a huge mistake. The goalkeeper comes out to clear the danger but the ball falls to Dembele. He almost finds a the net. Nervy ending in Rome

85’ Manchester City 1-2 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-5)

City are still trying to salvage some pride from this tie but Liverpool aren’t relenting. It seems City are heading towards a third straight defeat.

82’ AS Roma 3-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 4-4, Roma lead on away goals rule)

GOAL! MANOLAS! Roma are on course for the semi-finals! Barcelona are breached for the third time and with less than 10 minutes to go, Barcelona need a goal to go through. Roma have been excellent and deserve their lead

80’ AS Roma 2-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 3-4)

What a save! Ter Stegen keeps Barcelona ahead with a stunning save to deny Roma. Barcelona are really hanging on in the Italian capital. Big final ten minutes for Barcelona who have plenty of defending to see this off!

77’ Manchester City 1-2 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-5)

GOAL! Roberto Firmino puts Liverpool ahead on the night! It’s surely all over for Manchester Cit now. There is no way back for them with less than 15 minutes left on the clock.

75’ Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-4)

The zest has gone off City’s play and they have no real momentum to cause Liverpool any sort of discomfort. Liverpool have been very impressive defensively after the early mistake. City are probing but Liverpool are offering them very little space to hurt them

70’ AS Roma 2-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 3-4)

Roma are having a real crack at Barcelona who are at times made to do some last-ditch defending. The Italians have also been able to reduce Barcelona to few chances. They have a big chance to cause a massive upset tonight. Barcelona haven’t been at their best tonight

65’ Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-4)

Sergio Aguero is on for David Silva but it could be a case for too little too late for City. The hosts need a goal quickly to get the fans up on their feet again. Liverpool are in a very comfortable position right now and barring a major meltdown should see this tie through

65’ AS Roma 2-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 3-4)

Lionel Messi is booked and Barca are looking jaded in Rome tonight. Roma are making them very hard for this. Can Barca hold on? They have been given a real scare by Roma who might not be done yet

60’ Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-4)

Salah’s goal has changed the complexion of this tie and City appear deflated. City now have to go for it and that is leaving gaps for Liverpool to exploit. City need 4 goals in the next 30 minutes to advance. Surely a near impossible task now

56’ AS Roma 2-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 3-4)

GOAL! Daniele de Rossi! The veteran converts the penalty to put Roma within a goal of the semi-final. The cat is right among the pigeons in Rome. The mighty Barca are wobbling!

56’ Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-4)

GOAL! Mohamed Salah grabs the away goal! The Egyptian picks up the pieces after Mane is tackled inside the box and sends a cool chip over the keeper. Huge goal for Liverpool who can almost touch the semi-final

50’ Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-3)

Similar pattern to the game as in the first half. Man City with bulk of the possession but finding it hard to get behind a resolute Liverpool defence. As the clock ticks down, the pressure will increase on City. How long can Guardiola wait to make changes?

Man City will need to dig deep in the second half!

Guardiola sent off! 

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been sent to the stands for an angry reaction towards the referee after the HT whistle

HT: AS Roma 1-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 2-4)

Good half from Roma who have made it very hard for Barcelona. They still need 2 goals without reply to advance but they have given themselves a chance. Barcelona have defended astutely so far.

HT: Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-3)

Good half from the home side. They have done everything apart from scoring the second goal. Big controversy as Leroy Sane’s goal was disallowed just moments before the HT whistle. Pep Guardiola appeared very angry as he made his way down the tunnel. Liverpool in control of the tie but City who have eaten into their lead are certainly alive. Big second half coming up!

CHANCE! A big one for Liverpool!

40’ Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-3)

Liverpool have their first shot and it’s on target. But it’s a tame effort straight at Ederson. At the other end City hit the upright before having a goal from Leroy Sane disallowed. This game is on a knife edge. Liverpool still in the driver’s seat but City working very hard to change that. They need a bit more threat inside the box and maybe it is time for Sergio Aguero to come at the start of the second half

35’ Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-3)

City have had 8 shots so far but just 2 on target. The Citizens have had a lion share’s of possession but haven’t posed the kind of threat as they would like to. Liverpool though are yet to have an attempt in this game. Credit to City to have completely shut the Liverpool front three in this game. However City are the ones who need goals

30’ AS Roma 1-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 2-4)

Roma are dominating the ball against Barcelona. Yes, you read that right. ROma have bossed the game so far and look threatening on occassions. But this is a different Barcelona side. This team can sit back and absorb pressure. They did it quite successfully against Chelsea in the last round and are doing a decent job in Rome too. Roma need another goal before half time to really put the visitors under pressure. Good game at the Olimpico so far

30’ Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-3)

Bernardo Silva find space inside box to fashion a shot but is quickly closed down by the Liverpool defenders. The back four of Reds have defended well since the early mistake. Liverpool need a lot more of it if they are to see this City onslaught through.

25’ Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-3)

It’s all Man City right now. They are dominating possession and look threatening. They haven’t created many clear cut opportunities but they have not allowed Liverpool to have any say as an attacking force in this contest.

20’ Manchester City 1-0 Liverpool (Agg score: 1-3)

City have really uped the ante in the last five minutes and Liverpool are pinned deep inside their own half. City are peppering the box with crosses but so far the Liverpool rearguard have found the answer. Man City need to maintain the pressure now to really test this Liverpool defence.

15’ AS Roma 1-0 Barcelona (Agg score: 2-4)

Still 1-0 to Roma who will be happy to have kept Barcelona to very few chances so far in the game. Roma though need 2 more goal without conceding to advance to the semi-final. They will need to be very clinical to have a chance to advance
