On Wednesday night, one of the tournament favourites Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League, and now Arsenal fans are getting jittery.
The Spanish giants had a commanding 4-1 lead heading into their quarter-final second leg against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
Many would have predicted a relatively comfortable evening for Lionel Messi and co, but it was far from it, as Roma ripped up the script and earned a 3-0 victory.
Edin Dzeko’s 80th-minute goal at the Camp Nou proved to be crucial as the Serie A giants progressed into the semi-finals on away goals.
