22:00 FT: Roma 2-1 Milan
Down to 10 men for an hour, Roma still win on the night, 3-1 on aggregate and reach the Europa League semi-final!
21:56 No they're not!
Theo Hernandez red card REVOKED after a VAR review, only a yellow. He had caught El Shaarawy late from behind.
21:55 Milan down to 10 men!
Theo Hernandez sent off!
21:54 FT: Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool
Atalanta are through to the Europa League semi-final, 3-1 on aggregate!
21:52 Save on Chukwueze
Milan pushing now, but they need 2 goals. Chukwueze stings Svilar's gloves with a curler, El Shaarawy has cramp.
21:49 Roma 2-1 Milan: Matteo Gabbia!
Corner kick from Leao finds the Gabbia header! Is it too late?
21:48 Milan chance!
That one was genuinely close! Reijnders sudden scorcher, Svilar fingertips over the bar!
21:45 Roma subs
Renato Sanches and Angelino on, Pellegrini and Bove off. Pellegrini trying to get the crowd to make more noise. This is a heroic Roma performance.
21:44 Pellegrini decisive!
Leao dribbles away from Smalling, pulls it back, Chukwueze is about to tap in, until Pellegrini slides across to block!
21:43 Abraham in agony
Tammy Abraham is visibly wincing and holding his shoulder, which already had surgery last year. He's being given painkillers to keep going.
21:42 De Rossi

21:41 Jovic booked
Booked for a push on Bove, who landed heavily. Rafael Leao also just completely mis-kicked a cross...
21:39 Atalanta sub
Lookman replaces Miranchuk. Also, Danns on for Robertson. Koopmeiners booked.
21:36 Oh Maignan
Howler from the goalkeeper, nobody anywhere near him, tries to control at the touchline to speed things up, heavy touch gifts Roma a throw-in.
21:34 Atalanta subs
De Ketelaere and Pasalic on, Scamacca and Ederson off.
21:33 Milan subs
Florenzi and Okafor on, Pulisic and Musah off.

21:30 Chukwueze attempt
Either a cross or a shot, either way wide of the back post.
21:29 Roma chance!
Oooh! Abraham attempts a back-heel flick, it is charged down, so he turns and fires over from close range!
21:28 No, Scamacca!
Zappacosta chest, flick away from Robertson, sprint down the right and roll across, only for Scamacca to blast well over!
21:26 Liverpool subs
Diaz, Salah and Szoboslai off, Nunez, Jota and Elliott on.
De Roon finds Zappacosta, he cuts inside past one defender, but not the second. Good spell for Atalanta, this.
21:21 Maignan save
Roma counter-attack, Spinazzola springs the offside trap and forces a tricky save from Maignan at the near post.
21:21 Atalanta chance
Well-worked move down the right, but Koopmeiners finish was too weak and straight at Alisson.
21:20 Foul on Svilar
Theo Hernandez looping header into the air, Svilar plucks it out from under the bar and is then barged into the net complete with ball by Pulisic. Rude.
21:16 Liverpool chaos
Offside flag was up eventually, but even then they over-complicated that move so much. No need for back-heel flicks and trying to walk it into the net.
21:15 Pulisic over
Christian Pulisic turns over while slipping. Yacine Adli booked while warming up for acting as ball boy...
21:12 Milan chance
Chukwueze roll across from the right, Giroud lets it through for Jovic, shot deflected into the arms of Svilar.
21:11 Yellow for Milan
Gakpo wasn't offside probably, but Salah definitely was and Liverpool really over-complicated that move.
Gabbia booked for a foul on Pellegrini.
21:10 Atalanta chance!
Roll across from the right, bit of general chaos as everyone trying to shoot, eventually it is fired into the arms of Alisson by Ederson.
21:09 2nd half kicks off: Roma 2-0 Milan
3-0 aggregate.
21:08 Milan subs
Chukwueze and Reijnders on, Loftus-Cheek and Calabria off. Interesting.
21:06 2nd half kicks off: Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool
3-1 agg
21:05 Refereeing controversy

ROMA DOWN TO 10!

- Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) April 18, 2024
20:53 Half-Time: Roma 2-0 Milan
Long period of Milan possession coming to nothing. Roma 3-0 up on aggregate, but down to 10 men. Lukaku and Dybala already substituted.
20:49 Musah charged down
A good Musah run, shot charged down by his own teammate.
20:48 Half-Time: Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool
Atalanta 3-1 Liverpool on aggregate.
20:47 Pulisic over
Pulisic turns well and fires over the bar from the edge of the area.
20:46 Paredes rude
Paredes barges Calabria over in an off the field incident. No need for that.
20:45 Hien booked
Hien booked for handling a long ball over the top. Liverpool wanted a penalty, but he didn't seem massively aware of where the ball was.
Jovic replaces Bennacer. Diego Llorente on for Dybala.
20:42 Atalanta goal disallowed
Koopmeiners has the ball in the net, but the offside flag is up.
No penalty, because as we said, Giroud first. Don't know why he had to go look at that, to be honest...
20:40 Milan protests
Milan want a penalty after some General Chaos on a corner, it was ricocheting all over the place, hit the arms of both Giroud and Mancini. In that order.
20:39 Salah all wrong!
Ball over the top from Gakpo, Salah springs the offside trap, but gets the lob horribly wrong!
20:36 Loftus-Cheek header
Milan cross from the left, RLC diving header charged down by... someone, it was a crowd of bodies in there. Looked like Mancini's back.
20:35 Djimsiti decisive
Djimsiti with the diving tackle to stop Salah going clear from a Gakpo assist.
As if Roma-Milan didn't need more, it's now hailing!
20:31 Zeki Celik sent off!
That's going to cause all sorts of controversy. Zeki Celik dives into the sliding tackle on Rafael Leao, does not do it at all well, it's definitely a yellow, but a straight red? It caught the trailing foot pretty badly.
20:29 Roma sub
Lukaku off, Abraham on.
20:29 Miranchuk again
Liverpool give it away cheaply again, Miranchuk angled drive across the face of goal.
20:28 Atalanta counter
Miranchuk made a mess of that, over-hit the cross.
20:26 Lukaku is hurt
Tammy Abraham warming up. Lukaku has a problem.
20:26 Match report
#Fiorentina 2-0 #ViktoriaPlzen (2-0 agg)
Fiorentina needed extra time to finally break down 10-man Viktoria Plzen with Nico Gonzalez and Cristiano Biraghi goals to reach the Conference League semi-final https://t.co/u9sA0bPIFn #FiorentinaViktoriaPlzen #ACFPLZ #UECL
- Football Italia (@footballitalia) April 18, 2024
20:23 Roma 2-0 Milan: Paulo Dybala!
What a goal! Lukaku battles to win the ball, spring the offside trap, hold off defenders, Gabbia clears, but only as far as Dybala to curl into the far bottom corner!
20:22 FT: Fiorentina 2-0 Viktoria Plzen
Fiorentina are in the semi-final!
20:20 Milan hit the woodwork!
Musah rolls across for Loftus-Cheek, ball bobbles a little on the wet turf, RLC effort bounces onto the crossbar!
20:20 Atalanta chance
Liverpool continue to make just random passes out from the back, Miranchuk fails to take advantage.
20:18 Milan corner
Milan set play a bit chaotic, foul on Smalling while Bove is wrapped around Tomori, Svilar got it under control too.
20:14 Liverpool chances
Musso rushes off his line to deny Luis Diaz one-on-one, then Szoboszlai scorcher well held. Alisson makes a great reaction save to prevent an own goal, but Scamacca was offside in the build-up.
20:12 Roma 1-0 Milan: Gianluca Mancini!
Dybala trademark curler from outside the box bounced off the far post, but Mancini was ready to turn in the rebound! Special dedication for Mattia Giani, who died on Sunday.
20:12 Milan tactics
De Rossi was correct, Musah is wide right.
20:09 Fiorentina 2-0 Viktoria Plzen: Cristiano Biraghi!
It was a Plzen throw-in to the box, but it was cleared, Ikone sprinted the whole way and rolled it across for Biraghi to beat the goalkeeper one-on-one!
20:07 Atalanta 0-1 Liverpool: Mohamed Salah penalty!
Sent Musso the wrong way, it's now 3-1 on aggregate.
20:05 Penalty for Liverpool!
Ruggeri charged down a cross with his raised arm just inside the area!
20:05 HT in ET: Fiorentina 1-0 Viktoria Plzen
Sottil with another low cross that was not finished off.
20:04 Van Dijk hurt
Seemed to accidentally hurt his finger during a collision, but is OK to continue after treatment.
20:01 Fiorentina off the post!
Incredible. Corner, Martinez Quarta header, bounces off the upright!
20:01 We have kick-off!
20:00 Wasted counter
Sottil sprints on the counter, then Kouame cross blocked for a corner.
19:59 Roma anthem plays
Always a special moment.
19:57 Out come the teams!
Yep, we're going to have 3 quarter-finals running simultaneously.
19:55 Fiorentina sub
Nico Gonzalez off, Sottil on
19:54 Faraoni easy
Faraoni curler from outside the box is straight at the goalkeeper.
Nico Gonzalez booked for over-celebrating. Do you have any idea how long he's been waiting for that goal?! He should've celebrated MORE.
19:49 Fiorentina 1-0 Viktoria Plzen: Nico Gonzalez!
On the resulting corner, Nico Gonzalez gathers with his back to goal, turns and smashes it into the far top corner off the outside of the right boot from 12 yards!
19:48 Save on Martinez Quarta!
Ferocious strike from distance stings the goalkeeper's gloves.
19:47 Fiorentina sub
Mandragora off, Martinez Quarta on. We start extra time.
19:46 Stefano Pioli
Stefano Pioli explains why he made some surprise changes to the Milan XI in the Europa League quarter-final with Roma. 'We are trying to be unpredictable.' https://t.co/visBhkbHR2 #ACMilan #ASRoma #RomaMilan #ASRACM #UEL

19:43 FT: Fiorentina 0-0 Viktoria Plzen
It goes to extra time. Let's be honest, we knew that was going to happen.
Kouame rolls it beyond Ikone, but was offside anyway. Also corner came to nothing.
19:38 Into stoppages
6 minutes in Florence.
19:37 De Rossi
Daniele De Rossi thanks Roma for the 'gigantic show of faith' as his contract was extended before the Europa League quarter-final with Milan. 'It means we do not depend on this match' https://t.co/KmYkMB2Qpb #ASRoma #ACMilan #RomaMilan #ASRACM #UEL

19:21 Fiorentina sub
Beltran off, Barak on. Beltran just forced a save, but Nico Gonzalez hadn't kept the assist in play anyway.
19:19 Mandragora effort
Mandragora drills wide, it was so bad that it almost turned into an accidental assist for Belotti.
19:17 Plzen sub
Reznik replaces Chory
19:17 Isak Hien (Atalanta)
"It is an important match for us, we know it will be tough against this opponent, but we believe in our qualities. For us, it is the same as the first leg. We know they have a lot of quality, but we played well and got a good result in England, so today we want to do the same thing. We are not playing to sit on that first leg result, we want to win again today."
19:14 Into the wall
Mandragora free kick into the wall. Corner cleared.
19:12 VAR - RED CARD!
VAR on-field review for that, as Cadu stood on the back of Dodo's ankle. Red card!
19:12 Fiorentina sub
Maxime Lopez replaces Arthur.
19:11 Dangerous free kick
Well-worked passing move, Dodo brought down on the edge of the area, Cadu booked.
19:09 Edoardo Bove (Roma)
"It is a very important night for us and always a pleasure to play games of this level in Europe. There is an atmosphere that is truly exhilarating. We will give everything to bring joy to us and all the fans.
"The level of players we have in the squad is very high, so it's natural there is going to be limited rotation when you have champions of Europe and the world. I try to make sure I am ready, this is an opportunity for me and I'll give my all, as always."
19:06 Milan fans
4,500 at least are present at the Stadio Olimpico.
19:02 Plzen sub
Vydra off, Kliment on.
19:01 Mandragora close!
What a goal that would've been. Controlled just inside the area with his back to goal, juggled with the ball like in training, set it up for an overhead kick, just over the bar!
Chory, who is huge, leaps over the also rather massive Milenkovic and lands horribly on his shoulder.

Definitely cursed.
Such a great move, nutmeg on Chory, back-heel flick, roll across from the left for Nico Gonzalez, finish deflected wide!
18:31 Kouame off the crossbar!
OK, they are definitely cursed. Kouame controls, lets it bounce, thumps the left-foot strike and it bounces off the underside of the crossbar! Then probable foul on Nico Gonzalez, but outside the box.

Biraghi dribbles through the middle, heavy touch and defence manages to clear.

18:17 Belotti off the upright!
The move continued, Belotti header thumps the far post!
18:16 Ridiculous Save!
How on earth did he keep that out?! Lovely team move down the right, roll across for Kouame, incredible save!
18:14 Beltran is trying
He had treatment, is trying to come back on.
18:13 Beltran big problem
He has gone down to ground with head in hands. That's not reassuring.
18:11 Beltran problem
Beltran landed a bit awkwardly on his ankle, he's limping.
18:09 Nico Gonzalez effort
A lovely left-foot curler towards the far top corner, but the goalkeeper saw that coming and plucked it out of the air.
18:07 Fiorentina corner cleared
There's pressure, but they need to speed things up a bit.

17:54 Kouame chance
Offside flag went up eventually, but it was very tight, goalkeeper rushed out to make the block. Kouame is very fired up today.
17:52 Huge double Fiorentina chance!
Ooooh! First Belotti sliding in to the Kouame cross from the left, huge save from the goalkeeper's legs from six yards, then the move continues and Kouame header cleared almost off the line!
17:50 Plzen threaten
Free kick whipped across the face of goal, Hranac sliding in just fails to connect at the back post!
