Luis Suarez scored his first Champions League goal in more than a year as Barcelona beat Roma convincingly in the quarter-final first leg. Barca benefitted from two own goals to take control of the tie. First Daniele de Rossi slid into his own net in an attempt to keep the ball away from Lionel Messi, and then Kostas Manolas bundled another in. Edin Dzeko gave Roma hope, but Suarez then slammed home from 14 yards. All in all, an easy win for Barca.
