ROMA went into wild celebrations after securing their historic comeback against Barcelona — including their Twitter account.
Kostas Manolas’ 82nd minute header completed the sensational revival by the Serie A club — who lost 4-1 in the first leg — after goals from Edin Dzeko and Daniele De Rossi.
But it seemed the Roma social media manager could not quite believe what they were seeing as their tweet for the winner turned into gibberish.
The official club account tweeted: “DAJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeifefefbejfwjofnwjfnwjfbrufbwfubweufbewfuewbewbfwejfwjlfjfwfjlwfjbfjwfbwjfbwjofwjfnewjofnewjofnwjfnweAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The word ‘daje’ translates as ‘come on’, but the tweet soon turns into 172 characters of pure ecstasy after witnessing the unlikely revival.
Dzeko got Roma fired up for the match with his sixth minute opener before winning the penalty that was slotted away by Daniele De Rossi.

Dzeko said: “The win is difficult to describe. We lost against Fiorentina in the league three days ago but we played an amazing game today and had even more chances to score.
