Last year, Barcelona executed one of the most memorable comebacks in sports. Today, Ernesto Valverde's side was on the other side of the game, as they were kicked out of the UEFA Champions League in spectacular fashion.
Los Blaugranas entered this game as massive favorites, but a perfect plan designed by coach Eusebio Di Francesco saw Messi and Co. getting kicked out of the competition in the Quarter final stage for the third season in a row.
This will be a game no Roma fan will forget, as they pulled an almost impossible feat against one of the best teams in the business.
Roma is the 3rd team to overcome a deficit of 3 or more goals in the 1st leg to advance in UCL history

And here's that statistic that will haunt Ernesto Valverde's Barcelona forever.
"Historical failure. An epic debacle. La Liga's leader humiliated by Serie A's fourth. Barcelona has thrown away a three-goal lead in a European two-legged tie for the first time in history."
