The starting XI that Roma used to beat highly favorites Barcelona in the CL Quarter Finals in 2018, with an epic comeback from 4-1 down after the first leg at the Camp Nou. A goal from the penalty spot and an assist for captain and current manager, Daniele De Rossi, a goal from Edin Dzeko and an 82nd minute header from Manolas made the comeback happen. Roma then went on to get knocked out in the semi finals to Liverpool (7-6 agg).
