Head to head records of the Champions League and Europa League semifinalists

#2 Liverpool 2-2-1 A.S Roma

Can Daniele De Rossi and co. upset Liverpool as well?

Jurgen Klopp and co have to be over the moon with the Champions League semifinal draw that has seen Liverpool been drawn with A.S Roma. While they stand the risk of going the Barcelona way if they underestimate the Giallarossi, Liverpool will still start as favourites against a side whom they beat in the 1983-84 Champions League final to claim the trophy.

That match was the first of five meetings between the two clubs and the Italians are still seething over that penalty shootout defeat they suffered in their only Champions League final - that too at their home stadium.

They would meet again 17 years later - this time in the fourth round of the UEFA Cup. The two clubs would trade wins, but once again Liverpool would progress - this time 2-1 on aggregate. The Reds would once again go on to win the entire competition that year.

Roma would win a historic Italian title that year which would see them qualify for next year's Champions League. They were once again drawn alongside Liverpool in the second group stages. Roma went to Anfield in their final group game, needing just a draw to progress to the quarterfinals.

However, Liverpool got the better of them for the third time as goals from Jari Litmanen and Emile Heskey saw the Reds complete a 2-0 victory.

This year's tie would see Mohamed Salah return to his former club - having scored more goals for Liverpool this season than during the past two seasons combined for Roma.
