For the first time in over 30 years, Roma will play in the last four of Europe's top competition tomorrow night.
Roma travel to England to face Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in the Champions League semi final first leg. Kick off is scheduled for 7:45pm. Roma reached this stage by beating Barcelona on away goals in the quarter finals, after a blistering second leg performance. Now, the dream continues, as Roma look to make history by reaching the final. Eusebio Di Francesco has virtually a full strength squad available to him, with Aleksandar Kolarov returning after sitting out Saturday's win over SPAL. Along with Kolarov, Edin Dzeko, Daniele De Rossi and Alessandro Florenzi may return to the starting lineup, having been rested at the weekend. Liverpool also rested players at the weekend, but could only manage a draw against Premier League bottom side West Brom. They are expected to restore Roberto Firmino to their lineup, with ex-Roma winger Mohamed Salah ready to face his former club, fresh from winning the PFA Player of the Year award. Neither side were expected to make it this far in the competition, so it's a huge opportunity for both of them. Both clubs will be desperate to reach the final having come all this way. Part one begins tomorrow evening at Anfield. Whose dream will come true?
