Eusebio Di Francesco hopes Roma will avoid Sevilla in the Champions League last eight as he and good friend Vincenzo Montella are eyeing a meeting in the final in May.
On Tuesday, Di Francesco's Giallorossi defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 to advance via the away goals rule following a 2-1 first-leg defeat in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Montella's Sevilla stunned Manchester United at Old Trafford as Wissam Ben Yedder came off the bench to strike twice in quick succession and send his side into the quarter-finals of Europe's premier competition for the first time in 60 years thanks to a 2-1 aggregate success.
