Monchi hoping for repeat of Barcelona miracle against Liverpool

Roma sporting director Monchi insisted the club still have hope against Liverpool thanks to its two late goals at Anfield.

The Serie A outfit suffered a 5-2 loss in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final Tuesday, but it looked set to be worse.

Roma were trailing 5-0 before an Edin Dzeko goal and Diego Perotti penalty dragged the side back into the tie.

Monchi lamented the result but said his side, who completed a comeback against Barcelona in the quarter-finals, had hope.

"It's a difficult moment, we were in form heading into this game and the result is not good," he said, via the club's website.
