Dzeco beat Alba in the first, Piqué knocked down the striker in the area and the play ended in the penalty that De Rossi converted. And Manolas beat everyone in the area to seal the win. Roma take advantage of Barça's passivity and qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Busquets: "Last year we already fell in a similar way, these words are empty, hard, we are out of the Champions League, we had a very good result in the first leg, I would be lying if I said that this is going to be useful".
Iniesta, about the game: "It's a painful defeat because nobody was waiting for us with the income we had. But when you do things wrong, when you make many mistakes, when you do not adapt to the game, the Champions are like that. It is a very big disappointment. With the season that we are doing, this is very fucked up "
Roma are the third team to overcome a Champions League tie after losing by a difference of three goals in the first leg, after Deportivo with Milan in 2004 and Barça against PSG in the last campaign. Heroic.
Barcelona have been eliminated after winning by three goals difference in the first leg of a European tie for the first time in its history. Surprise
Valverde: "It's a painful defeat, I have no doubt, we all had an illusion to win this competition, we stayed on the road in an unexpected way for all of us, it will be hard days, we have to put up with the pull"
Valverde: "When you lose a match you think about everything. You do it when you win, when you lose more clearly. The coach is responsible for everything. The one who makes the team, the changes ... I repeated the alignment a week ago, when we had scored four goals. What he most regretted is the disappointment that our fans took ".
