Lottery loser Tonetto sorry for stuffing up Roma’s home run in Arsenal shoot-out

Roma scored a first-half goal but had their dreams of playing in the Champions League final at their own Olympic Stadium shattered by a shoot-out defeat.

Juan struck in the ninth minute, but the hosts’ appeals for a penalty on the stroke of half-time were waved away and then Roma’s former Arsenal striker Julio Baptista missed two gilt-edged opportunities after the re-start – the second with just 10 minutes left in normal time.

Roma’s Tonetto missed the spot-kick in sudden death penalties to clinch a quarter-final spot for Arsenal.

Diamoutene excelled at the heart of the defence alongside John Arne Riise.

We gave everything we had on the pitch and that’s why this defeat burns.
