THE’expulsion of Hummels at the start of the race It is a wedding invitation for the Athletic Bilbao who beats the Giallorossi 3-1 thanks to the networks of Nico Williams (brace) and Berchic, overturns the 2-1 of the first leg And he qualifies in the quarterfinals, where he will challenge the winner between Rangers and Fenerbahce. The final penalty of the Giallorossi made by Paredes is useless.

On the eve of the race Ranieri had promised that his team would “attacked in eleven and defended in eleven”. He did it, but only for a few minutes. At 11 ‘he is the most experienced player to betray Roma: Hummels misses a horizontal passage in midfield and Sannadi launched the net.

On the developments of a cross from the left, the ball parades and ends up on the feet of Nico Williams That kicks and with the complicity of a detour from Angelino beats Swylar. For the first change of Ranieri you have to wait for the 53 ‘: outside a disappointing Dovbyk, inside Soulè. Almost an invitation from the technician to his players to try to dialogue ball on the ground.

The light attack, however, does not last long: Dybala gives way to Shomurodov, while Baldanzi is replaced by Pisilli. It is precisely the two new entries to build the first goal ball of Rome: the 2004 class launches the Uzbeko which in depth reaches the shot and forces Agirrezabala to take refuge in the corner. Roma is saved at 64 ‘by Swylar, who makes a miracle on Berenguer, but the 2-0 arrives four minutes later: Berchiche stands head on the developments of a corner and sends the ball on the net.

Starting to frame for the exterior that at 82 ‘also serves the assist to Nico Williams: the number 10 jumps half a Romanist defense and signs the 3-0. Roma believes in it and in the recovery he creates the goal of the flag Conesco on penalty conquered by El Shaarawy. It is not enough. Bilbao celebrates and dreams of the final in his stadium.
