I joined CNN earlier to look back on the beautiful chaos of Inter v Barcelona last night and answer the question - can they now finish the job in the #UCL final?
Apologies to superstitious Interisti, but I've gone and bigged up their chances...

Ready for Lazio v Plzen.
A chance for Baroni to lead Lazio to just their 3rd Euro quarter-final in 22 years in the first Euro campaign of his career.
They've got a 2-1 lead to cling onto, and the big team news is that Castellanos is fit to start after being so badly missed

Roma aiming to win a fourth league game in a row for the first time in five years here tonight. Standing in their way? Giant killers Como, the last team to beat Roma in Serie A and coming off wins vs Fiorentina & Napoli. Could be tasty...

🇮🇹🇵🇹 Dovbyk isn't fit to lead the line for Roma tonight, so it's a big chance for Shomurodov in a huge game.
Porto are in town with the tie poised at 1-1, looking to become the first team for 5 years to knock Roma out of Europe before the semi-final stage..

Trouble brewing after the Roma goal, with flares being fired between home and away fans. A line of riot police has now arrived and it seems to have calmed down

Roma need a result here tonight to be assured of a place in the #UEL knockout rounds.
Their opponents? Second-placed Frankfurt, who have brought a legion of fans with them to the capital. Could be fun...

A decent but smaller than usual Fiorentina following in Rome tonight. This is because the Curva Fiesole refused to travel in protest at ticket prices they called "offensive to our people" (€40 I believe)
