Roma have their Romatada! And mamma mia, how they deserved it! They overwhelmed Barcelona from start to finish and had the Catalans trying to hang on from the opening stages. But Messi & Co couldn’t manage it. What a performance by the hosts. Roma are in wonderland!
Since you’re here … we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading the Guardian than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. The Guardian’s independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure.
With Barca 4-1 ahead on aggregate after a comfortable Camp Nou victory in the first leg, Roma went all-out attack from the off at Stadio Olimpico.
Roma were all over Barcelona for the first half as the Spanish giants laboured both on and off the ball, and Edin Dzeko got the ball rolling with a neat poked finish after he ghosted onto a simple high through-ball just six minutes into the tie.
Patrik Schick wasted two presentable chances and Dzeko had a header saved as Roma went into search of a second goal before half-time, but Barca held on to a two-goal advantage over the tie heading into the interval.
