Barcelona 4-1 Roma: Fortunate Barca Take Leap Towards Semi Final After Duo of Giallorossi Own Goals

Barcelona took a huge step towards reaching the UEFA Champions League semi finals for the first time since 2015 on Wednesday night, as they secured a 4-1 win over Roma.

Although the likes of Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Luis Suarez featured in the Catalan's starting lineup, La Blaugrana only took the advantage, and doubled their lead through own-goals; the first coming from Daniele De Rossi and the second via Kostas Manolas.

However, Gerard Pique's finish from close range on the stroke of the hour added a touch more respectability to the scoresheet, as Barca's monumental efforts across three competitions this season finally began to surface; which was no more evident than when Edin Dzeko slotted home with 10 minutes to go.
