Barcelona will take a commanding lead to Italy for their quarter-final return after two own goals and strikes from Gerard Piqué and Luis Suárez left Roma with it all to do.
The visitors more than matched Ernesto Valverde’s men in the first half but fell behind when Daniele De Rossi diverted Andrés Iniesta’s pass into his own net. Roma’s fortunes did not change after the interval either, as Kostas Manolas nudged Ivan Rakitić’s cross onto the post and the ball rebounded back off him into the net.
