Roma's Twitter feed made it happen: Real Madrid fans united them in praising one of the giallorossi's defenders...and managed to aim a slight dig at Barcelona while at it.
The Italian team questioned via their social media feed how Real Madrid fans would greet the Greek defender, who's header was crucial to eliminate Barcelona in last season's UEFA Champions League Quarter finals. Today, Real Madrid fans reacted in style, by giving Manolas a round of applause when his name was mentioned.

The Roman side will now try to pull a stunner against the current UCL title holders, even if they appear to be massive underdogs facing Los Blancos.
