ROME – Two unfortunate own goals cost the Italian side dearly as Barcelona took firm control of their Champions League tie with a 4-1 victory at the Nou Camp. Edin Dzeko was able to claw one back, but a late goal from Luis Suarez leaves Roma with plenty to do in the return leg.
Roma set out brightly and could easily have taken the lead early on. Dzeko was brought down by Nelson Semedo, having been clipped at the ankles. No penalty, however, was the decision of referee, Danny Makkelie, as the game began to sway in Barcelona’s favour.
