Champions League: Liverpool look to follow Madrid after their Roma clash
Who follows Madrid to the finals of the Champions and whose journey ends tonight when Roma entertains an old adversary in Liverpool.
In the past the one has seen more success than the other. Will it continue to go in favour of the team with the three-goal advantage? Or will it go to the side who’s been the underdogs in all their knockout fixtures?

Real Madrid was the first team to qualify for the finals when they beat Bayern Munich in controversial style once again. Real was the team with the upper hand advantage and were fortunate to have their final meeting in the Bernabéu.
Tonight’s tie has a reverse fortune for the team with the goal advantage. It’s been proven before to be difficult to come to Rome and take the crowd on. Thousands of Romans backing their little black horse, with their underdog rider – racing in their chariot race.

...With options limited in midfield, Jurgen Klopp has called upon @russellcrowe to do a job 😂
He does have a decent track-record in Rome to be fair!

Hopefully this anticipated semifinal will not be met with violence as the first one was. Warnings of not walking to the stadium and many other vital information has been handed to travelling fans when visiting the Stadio Olimpico stadium for the Roma and Liverpool fixture.
Roma fans are normally known for being a class act with exception to a few knuckleheads, who cause damage to the clubs image.
