Barcelona President Josep Maria Bartomeu confessed Roma “were the better team” and hinted Coach Ernesto Valverde could be sacked.
The first leg had ended 4-1, a result that did not fully reflect the performances, but the 3-0 triumph at the Olimpico saw the Giallorossi through to the Champions League semi-final on away goals.
“I’m really sorry. Roma were the better team on the pitch,” Bartomeu told TV3.
