MILAN — Roma saw off relegation-threatened Spal 3-0 in Serie A on Saturday and stayed confident for the trip to Liverpool for the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. While trying to win the Champions League, Roma is also trying to secure qualification for next season, and moved three points above fourth-placed Lazio, which hosts Sampdoria on Sunday. “We had the right attitude and it wasn’t easy to come here and have this kind of match,” Roma coach Eusebio Di Francesco said. A second successive win for Sassuolo all but guaranteed it safety, nine points clear of the drop zone. Fiorentina remained three points behind AC Milan in the race for the final Europa League spot.
