Trailing 1-4 going into Tuesday's game in Rome, AS Roma had an impossible mission in hand and many had already ruled them out of pulling any shocker against the Messi-inspired side which had only lost one game which came in the Spanish domestic cup.
Barcelona are yet to lose a single match in La Liga.
Roma needed at least three unanswered goals at home in order to progress into the Semis and they knew a fast start would help them realize their dream - and they did!
Edin Dzeko struck after just six minutes and after the break, they won a penalty which De Rossi converted just before the hour mark.
Greek defender Manolas headed home from a late corner to send Roma into the semi-finals on away goals sending the footballing world into pure ecstasy.
Below are some of the best reactions from the internet.
