Roma defeated Milan 2-1 (3-1 on aggregate), with Paulo Dybala scoring and Daniele De Rossi’s team securing a spot in the Europa League semi-finals.

Gianluca Mancini, Romelu Lukaku, and Paulo Dybala were the heroes of the night as AS Roma triumphed over AC Milan in a thrilling UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg match at Stadio Olimpico. The atmosphere was electric as the home team secured a 2-1 victory, booking their place in the semi-finals.

Mancini, who had already scored the winning goal in the first leg, once again showcased his goal-scoring prowess by opening the scoring within 12 minutes. Dybala then added to the excitement with a magnificent curling finish, doubling Roma’s lead.

The match took a turn for the worse for Roma when Zeki Celik was shown a red card for a reckless challenge on Rafael Leao, leaving them with only 10 men for the majority of the game. Despite this setback, the Roma defense remained resolute, frustrating Milan’s attempts to find the back of the net.

Milan came close to equalizing when Ruben Loftus-Cheek struck the crossbar, but luck was not on their side. In the dying minutes of the game, Matteo Gabbia managed to score a consolation goal with a header, but it was too little, too late for Milan.

The victory sets up a mouthwatering semi-final clash for Roma against Bayer Leverkusen, the newly-crowned champions of the Bundesliga. This will be a rematch of last season’s competition, where Roma emerged victorious with a 1-0 aggregate score. The Giallorossi will be hoping to replicate their success and secure a spot in the final.
