Manchester United produced an astonishing performance to thrash Roma 7-1 at Old Trafford to advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League 8-3 on aggregate.
Evoking memories of famous European nights gone by, United overturned a 2-1 first-leg deficit in emphatic fashion to set up a last four meeting with either Bayern Munich or Milan.
Michael Carrick, Alan Smith and Wayne Rooney all scored inside the opening 20 minutes before Cristiano Ronaldo added a fourth goal before half-time.
Ronaldo and Carrick scored again before the hour, and though Daniele De Rossi denied United a clean sheet, Patrice Evra concluded the rout with a seventh goal in the closing 10 minutes.
Roma were busy in possession in the early minutes, seemingly unaffected by the late inclusion of last week's match-winner Mirko Vucinic for the ill Rodrigo Taddei.
David Pizarro - in for the suspended Simone Perrotta - drove wide from distance, while Francesco Totti was much closer with a fizzing 25-yard effort.
But just as the Italians were looking slick on the ball, United rocked their opponents with a three-goal blast in the space of seven minutes.
First to score was Carrick, who collected a ball in-field from Ronaldo and curled a shot past the leaden-footed Doni, with the Roma keeper strangely making no effort to save the shot.
On 17 minutes the second goal arrived as United swept the length of the pitch as Wes Brown, Rooney, Carrick and Gabriel Heinze combined for Ryan Giggs to slip in Smith, who vindicated his selection ahead of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer by steering his shot past an exposed Doni.
Just two minutes later and it was 3-0 as Ronaldo and Smith linked up to release Giggs down the right and his low cross was turned in via the post by Rooney.
Roma's response was for De Rossi to head Pizarro's free-kick just past the upright, but United scented further goals.
Ronaldo lashed a left-footed shot wide after cutting in from the flank and Doni then had to quickly change direction to stop the Portuguese's deflected free-kick.
Doni was then alert to block Carrick's near-post header from Giggs' corner, with the midfielder unable to snaffle up the rebound.
The reprieve for Roma was momentary, though, as another incisive pass from Giggs presented Ronaldo with space to run into and he sprinted to the edge of the box before drilling a low shot inside the post.
Edwin van der Sar, at fault for Roma's second goal last week, was then called into action just before the break as he beat away a thunderous Totti free-kick.
The second half started with Totti flashing a free-kick wide before United grabbed a fifth after Roma failed to clear a corner after Rooney's initial shot was tipped over by Doni.
Rooney was the one to feed Giggs on the left and the Welshman's low cross found its way to the far post where Ronaldo lunged for his second of the game.
Roma, looking for some sort of consolation from a miserable night, almost found some, but Darren Fletcher was ably protecting the back post to stop Alessandro Mancini's header on the line.
On the hour mark, United rattled in a sixth goal as Carrick arrowed a 25-yard drive into the top corner after Heinze had kept alive Ronaldo's over-hit cross.
The magnificent Giggs was given a breather for the final half-hour, with his replacement - Solskjaer - lofting a shot onto the roof of the net after Smith had done the same moments earlier.
Roma contributed their own entry to the fine array of goals when De Rossi steered a cushioned volley inside the post from Totti's right-wing cross on 69 minutes.
The final 20 minutes were passing idly by until United plundered a seventh goal on 81 minutes as Evra started, and finished, a neat move involving Rooney and Solskjaer by dragging a low shot in off the post.
Sniffing a hat-trick, Ronaldo foraged forward in injury-time, only to see his low shot saved by Doni before the final whistle blew to keep the Premiership leaders in with a chance of emulating 1999's Treble-winning campaign.
Seventh heaven for United
