Card

Yellow card

a Barcelona
  • 72'
    Suarez is booked for remonstrating with the officials.
  • 69'
    CLOSE! De Rossi meets a cross from the left at the far post but he flicks a header just wide. Barca claim a foul against Jordi Alba but the referee was unmoved and it would have counted.
  • 68'
    CHANCE! Strootman feeds a ball into the box and Nainggolan meets it on the volley but Ter Stegen makes the save down to his right.
  • 63'
    "He's not that kind of player". Messi trips Kolarov down the Roma left.
  • 60'
    Fazio goes in late on Iniesta and is very lucky to avoid a second yellow card. A point the Barca players are making in no uncertain terms.
Penalty scored
Goaaaaal from a penalty!
de Roma en el 58'
  • 58'
    GOAL! ROMA! DE ROSSI! Ter Stegen guesses right but De Rossi's penalty is right in the corner. It's on here at the Olimpico!
  • 57'
    PENALTY! ROMA! Pique is no match for Dzeko's strength as the Bosnian holds off his man, who can only trip him and after a moment's thought the referee points to the spot! Pique is booked for the challenge.
  • 56'
    Schick runs at Umtiti but the Frenchman eases his man out.
  • 55'
    Suarez thinks he is in down the left but the offside flag goes up against him. The Uruguayan's wait for an away goal in the Champions League continues.
  • 51'
    The hosts aren't happy as a couple of Barca players go down with the slightest of touches but the referee waves play on on both occasions.
  • 49'
    Roma send several crosses into the box but nothing comes of them.
  • 46'
    Roma get us back underway here! No changes for either side.
  • 45'
    HT: Roma 1-0 Barcelona (Agg 2-4). Edin Dzeko's early goal is the difference between the teams at the break. Roma have been by far the better side and could and perhaps should have had a second on a couple of occasions. There is still plenty of work to do though if they are to progress with the Italians needing two goals without reply in the second period.
Card

Yellow card

a Roma
  • 44'
    Jesus is booked for a needless hack at the ankles of Lionel Messi down the left.
  • 43'
    Dzeko is denied what looked like an obvious corner down the left and it's fair to say he is less than happy with the decision.
  • 41'
    Messi takes it but his effort never looks like dipping enough to force Alisson in the home goal into a save.
Card

Yellow card

a Roma
  • 38'
    Fazio is booked for tangling with Suarez in an aerial duel. Barca have a free-kick some 25 yards out, nice and central and Lionel Messi is eyeing it up.
  • 38'
    Dzeko heads the ensuing corner well wide of the far post. He's bullying the visitors aerially is the big Bosnian.
  • 37'
    CLOSE! It's Roma on the attack again as Florenzi crosses from the right and his looping ball in is met by Dzeko at the far post who forces Ter Stegen to tip the ball over the crossbar.
  • 32'
    Roma go close again! Nainggolan's effort from range is poor but it rolls for Schick. He looks set to have a free effort from ten yards but Pique comes from nowhere to make a wonderful challenge and clear the danger.
  • 29'
    CHANCE! It should be two! Fazio crosses from the right and Schick is completely alone in the middle eight yards out but he somehow heads wide of the far post. Edin Dzeko is the man you want those ones to fall to.
  • 26'
    Pique makes a fine challenge to prevent Kolarov from having a free shot on goal from 12 yards.
  • 25'
    Dzeko has options but he opts to take aim from range and it flies harmlessly over the bar.
  • 25'
    Iniesta is lucky to avoid a booking after tripping Schick following a wonderful piece of skill from the youngster.
  • 24'
    Barca just managing to get their foot on the ball a bit here and releive the pressure.
  • 21'
    Another nervy moment for Ter Stegen as he sets off after a cross he has no chance of getting to but Pique heads clear.
  • 19'
    Eusebio Di Francesco is looking animated on the touchline, if he didn't believe pre-match he certainly will now.
  • 16'
    Nainggolan has a go on the volley from range but he doesn't really get a hold of it and it drops well wide.
  • 14'
    Schick gets up to meet the corner but his flicked header is off target with Ter Stegen in no-man's land.
  • 13'
    Dzeko forces a corner down the right and the crowd erupts here. Are they starting to believe?
  • 10'
    Messi steps up, but his effort is too high and curls over the bar.
  • 8'
    Messi is tripped on the edge of the box and this could be dangerous for Roma.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Roma en el 6'
  • 6'
    GOAL! ROMA! DZEKO! It's on! The Bosnian latches onto a long ball and is too strong for the nearest defender before stabbing beyond Ter Stegen.
  • 5'
    Kolarov goes down under the challenge of Semedo on the byline but the referee points for a goal kick.
  • 4'
    Roberto shoots straight at Alisson, before Messi looks to curl one from the edge of the box but he gets his bearings wrong and it goes well wide.
  • 2'
    A slight warning for Barca as Ter Stegen is quickly closed down by Dzeko.
  • 1'
    Barcelona get us underway!

    The players are out on the pitch and we'll be underway shortly!
  • PRVW
    The atmosphere promises to be incredible this evening in Rome and it is building nicely ahead of kick-off.
  • PRVW
    Hope for Roma?
  • PRVW
    Roma boss Eusebio Di Francesco is still hopeful of getting a result tonight: "We must always play at our best for this shirt, even more so in this game since we have to overturn the scoreline from the first leg. We'll play our strongest line-up against Barcelona. We must play with passion, heart and belief right up until the final whistle if we want to do the unthinkable. We have a duty to give it everything."
  • PRVW
    Warm-ups are underway here:
  • PRVW
    Ernesto Valverde is taking nothing for granted ahead of this one: "The mistake would be to think that we are already in the semi-finals. It's true we got a good result in the first leg but nothing more. We have to play as if it's 0-0 because you never know what might go wrong - a sending-off, or something."
  • PRVW
    Luis Surez's last away goal in the Champions League came at the Stadio Olimpico, back in the Group Stages in 2015. Will he be able to change that dismal run? He did of course end his barren spell in the competition this season in the first leg.
  • PRVW
    Roma hand a start to misfiring Czech youngster Partik Schik and go with a very Italian back five, with Aleksandar Kolarov and Alessandro Florenzi providing the width.
  • PRVW
    So, Sergio Busquets is fit enough to start for Barca, despite missing the win over Leganes on Saturday with a muscle problem, whilst Nelson Semedo is once again given the nod at right-back with the versatile Sergi Roberto moving into midfield.
  • PRVW
    I make that four changes for each side from their league outings at the weekend.
  • PRVW
    Roma: Alisson; Manolas, Fazio, Jesus; Florenzi, Nainggolan, De Rossi, Strootman, Kolarov; Schick, Dzeko. Subs: Skorupski, Bruno Peres, Gerson, Pellegrini, Gonalons, Under, El Shaarawy.
