The only reason I don't want Liverpool is because I don't want to see Salah back at Olympico torturing us. That, and I hate Liverpool fans.
Congratulations Guys from a Juve fan!!! Make Italy Great Again!!! I'd say for quarters if you draw Sevilla or Liverpool, you have a good chance to go through. I would actually tip you guys favorites over both of them, but it would be a really close game. Liverpool really does not have a good defense at all. Sevilla have drastically improved since Montella took over, although I don't rate Man Utd as a good team. Anyway regardless of who you get, just do your best and hopefully it will payoff (unless its Juventus of course), but you really exceeded expectations and I think you have something to be proud of. Especially topping the group of death. Atletico and Chelsea are tough teams.

Our defense depended on guys miraculously not finishing the play way too often. Ismaily embarrassed two guys and slipped on a banana peel on the end line. They pressed us into our own end and passed through and around us with a man down. I don't know why they didn't take shots because they had comfortable possession in our box. That's less to our credit and more of a wtf for them. EDF absolutely deserves credit for patience, knowing 1-0 was all we needed and standing firm at the half. I wouldn't say masterclass, but he did what needed doin'.
Sevilla or Juve, please. Anyone else I fear a real embarrassment. While I applaud the the team effort, tactically speaking we are a disaster waiting to happen. Shakhtar should've won 4-1 in the first leg if not for some miracle saves from Alisson and Peres. Then tonight had almost 70% possession at our field and run circles around us with 10 men. Sevilla is obviously the weakest team. Juve will most likely knock us out but I think we have the best chance against them compared to the rest. We know what we are up against when we face them, there is no surprise factor. The pressure will be completely on them. And man oh man if a miracle happens and we knock them out it will feel like winning the CL. The banter potential will be eternal.
I'm rewatching the game now. It's easy to forget because we played poorly later but we really dominated them the first 30 mins.
We also could have gone up by multiple goals early in the first leg. The tie could have easily been over in the first 45 that game if anyone could finish.
No. I have more incentive to post now knowing it pisses you off. So who is opening the next match thread? Should I do it?
I'm sorry to say but I'm starting to hate Gerson more than anyone else. Everytime he's on the field, it seems like he'll concede one. He's the reason we conceded twice this season. One against Napoli and the other i don't remember and suffered a lot in defence(last night also). Problem is he doesn't love Roma so he doesn't care. Bad attitude for a young professional lad.
He is actually good when we are defending the result. He knows to trap the ball with players on his back. Weird feeling, still cannot believe it we made it.
First off. Great fkn game last night. So proud of our guys getting through. 2nd: I REALLY hope this does happen. I'm stationed in England currently and I want us to play a UK team just so I can go to the match. Don't matter where it is, if we play a UK team I'll take leave and go.
I work with a Liverpool fan, were both hoping Roma/Liverpool draw each other so we can try and go to the game. But yes, it's english club fans, having to work/live in England I hear it all day long.
Thats what an angry dutch looks like [emoji23] @Kevin_strootman spreading words of peace on the field 😂 🔝⚽️⭐️ #RomaShakhtar #ASRoma #ChampionsLeague #UCL #Strootman #Roma pic.twitter.com/wvZ7xtinQs— AS ROMA 360 (@asroma360) March 14, 2018
