AS Roma 3-0 Barcelona (Agg: 4-4): 5 Talking Points

#4 Barcelona looked fatigued and leaden-footed on a night that will continue to haunt them

A night to forget for Messi and co. but they probably won't be able to..

How utterly disingenuous the side that has taken Europe by storm this season looked on the green pitch at the Stadio Olimpico.

All that energy spent to try and remain invincible in Europe and the League proved to be too overwhelming for even the superstars in the Barca strip.

Suarez, Iniesta, Raktitc; everywhere you looked you saw despair and on-the-edge defending as Roma carved out chance after chance.

We kept count till they'd created 16 and then lost track in the final 15 minutes or so with the hosts refusing to vacate the opposition penalty area.

Hoping to cling on to a result that would see them through, we wonder if it was the reflection of the blue shirts or the Barca players had actually turned blue as Roma humiliated them by not allowing them even a sniff of an opportunity.

Even Lionel Messi had a forgettable outing as he skied the ball from presentable opportunities - both from open play and dead-ball situations.
