Liverpool are through to their first UEFA Champions League (UCL) final in eleven years (2007) after they held off AS Roma 7-6 on aggregate in their semifinal clash at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night.

The Reds had won the first leg 5-2 last week Tuesday and were relatively comfortable in the second leg until the final five minutes.

Sadio Mane’s 9th minute lead for Liverpool was cancelled out by a James Milner own goal only for Dutch midfielder Giorginio Wijnaldum to re-establish the lead for the Reds.

The hosts turned on the style in the second half with three goals from Edin Dzeko and Radja Nainggolan (2) but the 4-2 scoreline was not enough as Liverpool held on to secure a final meeting with holders Real Madrid in Kiev on May 26.
