With Real Madrid already through to the final, fans eagerly await to see who will face Los Blancos in Kyiv. Roma and Liverpool are yet to play their second leg tie, meaning a ticket is up for grabs for both teams, but one side is favorite to progress.
With the Reds boasting a 5-2 lead from their first-leg meeting at Anfield and their attacking trio of Mane-Firmino-Salah scoring for fun, many have written of the Giallorossi. Here are four reasons why the Italian club can shock the Merseyside giant and earn a clash with Los Blancos.
They have done it before
This is the most obvious but most important reason. Roma has found themselves in a similar position – losing the first leg and needing a 3-0 home win to progress – in the previous.
Their opponent was Barcelona and what followed was one of the competition’s greatest comebacks. They could repeat that feat in the last four.

The Giallorossi has already beaten a top English club this term
The Italian outfit hosts a deadly Liverpool side, but it wasn’t long ago when they dismantled another Premier League giant. Last October, they welcomed Chelsea at the Stadio Olimpico and won 3-0, a scoreline that would see them go through on Wednesday.
Their recent home run vs Premier League sides
In their last five home clashes with English top-flight clubs, the Serie A outfit has won four. Only Man City came away with a victory in 2014/15.
