Barcelona can begin getting ready for the Champions League semi-finals yet their 4-1 prevail upon Roma on Wednesday won't really have rivals trembling in their boots.
Two claim objectives, from Daniele De Rossi and Kostas Manolas, and a short proximity complete from Gerard Pique, gave the Catalans a complimenting 3-0 advantage at the Camp Nou before Edin Dzeko grabbed Roma a late away objective.
In any case, similarly as the Italians hoped to have snatched a life saver, Luis Suarez reestablished the three-objective pad, by scoring a fourth in the 87th moment.
It implies Barca will make a beeline for Italy one week from now with a place in the last four immovably in their grip however this was not a virtuouso assaulting show.
Rather, they profit by two chance claim objectives and some thoughtless Roma wrapping up. Ernesto Valverde's side are probably not going to meet as liberal a rival in the semis.
After Cristiano Ronaldo's fantastic bike kick for Real Madrid on Tuesday, even Lionel Messi, once again from damage here, persevered through a marginally baffling night, his shots and spills for once meeting rivals as opposed to the net.
Messi came back to the beginning line-up in the wake of recuperating from his hamstring objection, as did Sergio Busquets, back in the wake of breaking his toe against Chelsea three weeks prior.
Roma's own midfield master Radja Nainggolan was absent with a hamstring strain.
Barca battled for familiarity with the principal half, with Roma's nine-man cautious activity to a great extent effective in directing their adversaries' assaults down the inside, where the guests could handle, piece and contain the space.
The main genuine early risk from Barca came through Ivan Rakitic's cross-shot, which bended without a touch completely through to the far post, which it struck and skiped out.
By at that point, Roma were appalling not to have had a punishment as Dzeko nipped before Nelson Semedo, who drove the assailant in the back. Ref Danny Makkelie, be that as it may, was unaffected.
Rather, it was Barca who delighted in the rub of the green when De Rossi endeavored to remove Andres Iniesta's go to Messi. Confronting objective, his jumping slide associated too well with the ball, which he cut past Alisson Becker and into his own particular net.
Stodgy in the main half, Barca were messy toward the beginning of the second as Semedo permitted Diego Perotti a free header at the back post and after that Samuel Umtiti could have been rebuffed for a snapshot of hesitation in his own particular six-yard box.
Be that as it may, Roma were limit in assault and they paid the cost. In the 55th moment, a skimming cross from Rakitic was met by Umtiti five yards out and keeping in mind that his complete returned off the post, the ball diverted off Manolas and in.
After four minutes, it was 3-0. Messi's twisting pass permitted Suarez a shot at objective and Alisson's repel fell at the feet of Pique, who side-footed home.
Roma hoped to have discovered a path over into the challenge when Dzeko nipped in to change over Perotti's cross yet Suarez secured the triumph and maybe the tie.
His namesake Denis Suarez provided the cross and as the ball spilled free, the Uruguayan required no second welcome to locate the net.
