Edin Dzeko, Radja Nainggolan and Stephan El Shaarawy were all hard at work on a sunny morning in Rome before the team make the flight to England.

Eusebio Di Francesco’s men pulled off one of the greatest European comebacks in history in the quarter-finals as they ousted Barcelona after losing 4-1 at the Nou Camp. 

Kostas Manolas headed the winning goal as they beat the Spanish giants 3-0 in the second leg at the Stadio Olimpico to reach their first semi-final in over 30 years.

They now face a Liverpool side that have been outstanding in this season’s tournament but showed some of their defensive frailties as they drew 2-2 to West Brom at the weekend.
