Barcelona took a commanding lead against Roma in the 1st Leg of the Champions League Quarter-Final. Aided by two Roma own goals, Barcelona built a two goal lead in the first 55 minute, before Gerard Pique added another for the Catalans. The two sides exchanged goals in the final ten minutes with Edin Du017eeko scoring for Roma and Luis Suarez scoring for the home side.
Ernesto Vlaverde threw a curveball with the right side of his lineup, including both Nelson Semedo, at right back, and Sergi Roberto, on the right side of midfield, in the lineup – something rarely seen this season.
