On Wednesday night, one of the tournament favourites Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League, and now Arsenal fans are getting jittery.
The Spanish giants had a commanding 4-1 lead heading into their quarter-final second leg against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.
Many would have predicted a relatively comfortable evening for Lionel Messi and co, but it was far from it, as Roma ripped up the script and earned a 3-0 victory.
Edin Dzeko’s 80th-minute goal at the Camp Nou proved to be crucial as the Serie A giants progressed into the semi-finals on away goals.

Arsenal, whose fans have been calling for club legend Thierry Henry to replace Arsene Wenger as manager, are in a similar situation to Barcelona in that they have a 4-1 lead over CSKA Moscow in their Europa League quarter-final.
After seeing the Catalan giants crumble, some Arsenal supporters are worried that their team could suffer the same fate.
The Gunners’ only realistic hope of qualifying for next season’s Champions League is by winning Europa.
