The Manolas goal that eliminated Barca

Roma became the downfall of Barcelona during the quarter-finals clash. The Italian team needed at least three goals to take the lead to qualify for the semi-finals, and they certainly achieved it.

From a corner, the Greek defender, finished the delivery off with an incredible header, earning Roma the vital 3-0. Chaos erupted in the stands and on the pitch Roma eliminated Catalan giants Barcelona and progressed to the semi-finals.
