Barcelona were once again involved in a miraculous Champions League comeback, but unlike against Paris-Saint Germain, the Catalans were on the wrong side. Outclassed from the opening whistle, Barcelona were playing catch-up against a highly motivated Roma side. Buoyed by an early Edin Du017eeko strike, Roma were flying high while Barcelona were looking to defend the lead with disastrous results, giving up two goals in the second half, courtesy of Daniele De Rossi from a penalty kick and Kostas Manolas.
Barcelona started the match with the same eleven as they did the first leg, and despite Roma’s high press it was the Catalans who threatened first.
