Rest in peace, Roma.
Barcelona didn't spare any effort in the first half of Tuesday's Champions League tie at Camp Nou, with Lionel Messi scoring easily the best of the three goals.
A combination of passes between Neymar and Luis Suarez sprung Messi free in the penalty box, and the little Argentine simply chipped the ball up and over goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.
It was Messi's first goal since a 4-1 win over Levante on Sept. 20. A knee injury kept him out of the next eight weeks of action, and prevented him from starting in El Clasico last weekend.
But nothing can stop Messi forever. He's right at home again.
