We are Roma and we're here to f*** shit up.

While Liverpool were busy crushing Manchester City's European dreams, Roma sent shockwaves across the footballing world by beating Barcelona 3-0 in the Stadio Olimpico to join the Reds in the last four. Trailing 4-1 from the first-leg, the Serie A side completed a comeback for the ages, with goals from Edin Dzeko, Daniele De Rossi and Konstantinos Manolas seeing them through. It was a particularly satisfying act of heroic redemption from De Rossi and Manolas, who both scored own goals at the Camp Nou in the first leg. De Rossi struck a penalty to make it 2-0 in Rome before Manolas clinched the tie in dramatic fashion with a beautiful glancing header to whip Giallorossi fans up into an ecstatic frenzy. Gary Lineker, former England international, Match of the Day presenter and all-round Twitter boss, eloquently captured the prevailing sense of bewilderment at Barcelona's collapse. https://twitter.com/GaryLineker/status/983803005530189824 It's not the first time Lineker has succinctly summed up the mood of millions in a few words. He wasn't the only one at a loss, either. https://twitter.com/FCBarcelona/status/983814932939632641 https://twitter.com/tancredipalmeri/status/983813913325260802 https://twitter.com/8Fact_Footballl/status/983814273972355073 https://twitter.com/G14_en/status/983814539853664256 https://twitter.com/iambolar/status/983816475940216832 https://twitter.com/SMFutboI/status/983813684786057216 https://twitter.com/OfficialASRoma/status/983812521906892800 https://twitter.com/ASRomaEN/status/983815268265873410
