WHAT HAPPENED? In a thrilling European night at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma fought back from the jaws of defeat to secure a Europa League semi-final berth after knocking out Feyenoord 4-2 on aggregate.
Paulo Dybala's 89th-minute strike forced extra time after Leonardo Spinazzola's opener was cancelled out by Igor Paixao just 10 minutes from the end of regulation time.
However, following Dybala's goal, there was no looking back for the Giallorossi as Stephen El Shaarawy and Lorenzo Pellegrini scored in each half of extra time to send the Roma fans into a frenzy.
With just 30 seconds to go, Mourinho further urged the fans to crank up the volume and the passionate Romans did not disappoint.
