First time back in Rome, facing his old team, Luis Enrique’s new team only managed to secure a point. Luis Suarez put his team in the lead midway through the first half before an Alessandro Florenzi wonder-goal tied the game up ten minutes later. Barcelona had more chances to change the score-line in the remainder of the game that Roma did, but the score remained tied at one, and both teams picked up a point to start of the new season of the Champions League.
