Watch: Roma Players Confront Hostile Fans After 3-0 Home Defeat

Roma’s players had to console a rather hostile support after an embarrassing 3-0 home defeat to fellow Italians, Fiorentina, in tonight’s Europa League last 16.

The game kicked off with a 1-1 aggregate score from the first leg, but things turned sour after only eight minutes when Fiorentina were awarded a penalty, which was converted by Gonzalo to put the visitors ahead.

It went from bad to worse for Roma when goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski gifted Marcos Alonso a tap-in with this absolute howler:

The game was put to bed after only 21 minutes when Jose Maria Basanta made it 3-0 (4-1 on aggregate) to Fiorentina, putting the game well out of Roma’s reach.

Roma’s players were left embarrassed and the fans didn’t take it well. They lit flares and some threw objects as the team passed at the final whistle. De Rossi and his teammates were left with no choice but to confront the fans.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen this from a high profile team recently. Dortmund’s players greeted fabs of their famous ‘Yellow Wall’ after a slump which saw them battling relegation.
