Nothing is done - Rakitic urges Barcelona to play better in Rome

Ivan Rakitic insists Barcelona still have work to do despite taking a big 4-1 first-leg lead in their Champions League quarter-final against Roma.

Two own goals put Barca in control at Camp Nou, before Gerard Pique added a third, but Edin Dzeko's away goal 10 minutes from time looked to have brought the Serie A side back into the tie.

While Ernesto Valverde's men will sleep a little easier after seeing Luis Suarez strike to restore a three-goal advantage ahead of the return encounter, Rakitic is not writing Roma off.

"Nothing is done," the midfielder told BT Sport.
