Roma advanced to the semi-finals of the Europa League by defeating their Serie A rivals AC Milan at Stadio Olimpico.
Gianluca Mancini opened the scoring for Roma after 12 minutes, followed by Paulo Dybala doubling their lead 10 minutes later, securing a 3-1 aggregate victory.
However, Roma faced a setback when Mehmet Zeki Celik’s challenge on Rafael Leao resulted in a red card, reducing them to 10 men. Milan managed to score a late consolation goal through Matteo Gabbia.
Mancini displayed quick reflexes to tap in Lorenzo Pellegrini’s shot after it hit the woodwork, while Dybala showcased his skills by lofting a brilliant shot over Milan’s goalkeeper, Mike Maignan.
In the 28th minute, Tammy Abraham, the English international who recently recovered from an ACL injury, substituted the injured Romelu Lukaku.
Roma will now face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League semi-finals, with the winner earning a spot in the final, after Bayer Leverkusen defeated West Ham.
