Roma 4-2 Liverpool (6-7 on agg): Jurgen Klopp's men to face Real Madrid in Champions League final despite late Italian onslaught

Liverpool will play holders Real Madrid in the Champions League final, after beating Roma 6-7 on aggregate over two legs.

The Premier League side may have lost 4-2 at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night, but they survived a late onslaught on their goal to ensure they reached their eight European final.

The Reds needed just eight minutes to silence the Stadio Olimpico.

Roma lost the ball in midfield, allowing Firmino to break at pace and slot in Mane, who fired an effort past Alisson.

However, they conceded shortly after as Dejan Lovren’s clearance bounced spectacularly off James Milner’s head and into the back of the net.
