LIVERPOOL will play AS Roma in the Champions League semi-finals.
The Serie A side produced a major shock in overturning a 4-1 first-leg deficit to beat Barcelona on away goals.
And the tie will see the Reds’ top goalscorer Mohamed Salah face his previous club.
The 25-year-old moved from the Italian side to Anfield in a £38 million deal.
Although Roma are in the last-four for only the second time after finishing runners-up in 1984, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was impressed with the manner of their comeback against Barcelona.
“I walked up the stairs and somebody told me (Roma had gone through) – I really thought it was a joke,” he said after the win over City.
“Not that I don’t respect Roma, the absolute opposite. They have a fantastic team. They lost Mo Salah and they are in the semis, that’s quite a big thing.”

The other semi-final is a mouth-watering clash as Bayern Munich play Real Madrid.
Real have won three of the last four finals while Bayern’s last win was in 2013 – against Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund – after finishing runner-up twice in three years.
The matches will take place on April 24 / 25 and May 1 / 2.
The winners will face-off in the final, scheduled for May 26 at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev.
Earlier today, Arsenal were drawn against Atletico Madrid in the Europa League semis.
The other tie will see RB Salzburg take on Marseille.
