Wojciech Szczesny Makes Miraculous Save to Help Roma Through to UCL Last 16

An important save, in more ways than one.

Given Bayer Leverkusen were on the way to picking up a point in their match against already-qualified Barcelona, Roma needed a point from their home game against BATE Borisov on Wednesday night to qualify for the Champions League round of 16.

With the scores standing at 0-0 with 20 minutes to play, up stepped goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

BATE's Mikhail Gordeichuk had the goal at his mercy, but the Arsenal loanee made a miraculous recovery to deny the Belarusian what would have been the winner.

Roma, of course, held on to register a goalless draw which saw them scrape through to the knockout stage.
