Twitter reacts to Liverpool's 7-6 aggregate win over Roma to reach the UEFA Champions League final

What a historic night for Liverpool as they reach the finals of the UEFA Champions League final for the first time since 2007!

Their job on the night was made a tad easy as a result of their 5-2 victory in the first leg but there was a case for optimism for Roma because of the two away goals they bagged and the fact that they managed to overturn a similar deficit in the quarterfinals against Barcelona.

However that was not the case this time as two mistakes from the home side proved to be fatal in the first half as Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum helped Liverpool to go into halftime with a 7-3 lead on aggregate, Roma getting one back through a Milner own goal.

Despite Roma coming out all guns blazing in the second half, it was too steep a mountain to climb despite both Dzeko and Naingollan getting on the score sheet to lead Roma to a 4-2 victory on the night.

Here's how Twitter reacted:

Quite similar to the City start this... There's big emotion in the ground and it's going to be very tough - Liverpool should keep their heads, keep the ball and not drop too deep.

Let's be clear. #ASRoma deserved the semi final, but the mental errors they're showing in these last to matches vs #Liverpool are too big for this stage of #UCL

Even if Liverpool don't win the CL, damage is already done. They'll be on about the fact they reached the final for the next 1,000 years. Absolutely unbearable. Really can't be arsed with it.

Roma are the worst Champions League semi finalists in the last 10 years, embarrassing

If Liverpool were a snooker player they'd need to leave their opponent needing 78 snookers before the frame was safe #ROMLIV

We're flat, but to be fair we always step it up when we need to. Liverpool aren't good at doing so but we're sitting back in 1st gear
