@Zichi, it was 5-1 on aggregate, not 7-1. Either way, nobody could have forseen that.
We were a bit lucky with that 'second' goal that Citeh scored. That could have made the 2nd half very nervous. But superb result for the Reds, I think we have a good a chance as anyone now.

I think Roma's very own remuntada deserves more than a brief passing notice. Just superb.

That's not how it works Zichi. Man City would have needed 5 goals to go through after Firminho's goal. An away goal counts 'double' in the event of a tie after two games. But only one of the goals counts double. If Citeh had scored another 5 goals last night, they would have gone through 6-5. If they only scored 4 they would have been 5-5, but lost on away goals.

Only Liverpool fans can make up their own away goals rule. It seems like UEFA referees can also make up their own Liverpool rules.

As a Roma fan this is the greatest thing I've ever seen. How is that not the headline of this article, or a separate article in its own?

therougou, congratulations on a historic turnaround. Unfortunately this site is not the best example to see sensible headline writing. Roma's great upset gets 4 sentences in a whole article about Liverpool who had already won the tie in the 1st leg. In fact Roma should have made Japan Today's headline, not just in sports.

Even as a Liverpool fan I have to agree, but I suppose that it's because the result of a match between two English teams is more relevant to the readers of an English website than a game between Roma & Barca.
Can't wait to get home tonight and watch both game

Terrible decision to disallow the City goal but Liverpool deserved to go through over the two legs.
Roma! Bloody hell! Didn’t see that coming.
