However, this only set the stage for an occasion not even the Colosseum could produce.

Edin Džeko's early strike gave hope, second-half penalty from skipper Daniele De Rossi gave belief, but it was Kostas Manolas' header eight minutes from time that made the impossible a reality.

It came just a year on from Barça's incredible comeback against PSG, and a year before another capitulation against Liverpool.

Probably not what they need to be reminded of with a 4-0 lead against Borussia Dortmund, but Rome will always remember.
