AS Roma failing big time to win this home game after the defeat in the Champions League Quarterfinals against Barcelona. It is an important away victory for Fiorentina claiming all 3 points. Roma with 60 points having +10 points lead above Fiorentina with 50 points. A total blow for the morale of the team who will be facing next week on April 10 Barcelona in the Champions League Quarterfinals second leg at the Olimpico.
Surprise at the Olimpico di Roma Stadium! Yes, my friends, a super cold shower falling as Roma far from from reacting to Barcelona’s defeat, lost the game! Bam! It is Fiorentina to open the score in the 7th minute. Marco Benassi defeating AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by Riccardo Saponara.
