UCL: Roma Vs Barcelona Today At 7:45pm
May be mere formalties.
AS Roma have it all to do in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final against FC Barcelona having been beaten 4-1 in Spain.
• Own goals from Daniele De Rossi and Kostas Manolas were added to by Gerard Piqué at the Camp Nou on 4 April. Although Edin Džeko briefly raised Roma spirits, a late fourth for Luis Suárez gave Barcelona a comfortable cushion in the tie.
• Roma have lost both their previous UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, the most recent of which came a decade ago. The Giallorossi's only other last-eight tie, in 1983/84, also featured their sole aggregate win at this stage.
• Barça went on to the semi-finals for six years running between 2008 and 2013, although their last two campaigns – and three of the last four – have ended at this stage.
• The Italian club have now lost two of their five fixtures against Barcelona – a 6-1 reverse at the Camp Nou the last time the teams crossed paths two seasons ago and this first leg.
