LIONEL MESSI AND Luis Suarez ran riot against Roma, helping Barcelona to a stunning 6-1 Champions League victory that assures them of first place in Group E with a game to spare.

Suarez opened the scoring after 15 minutes of the match at Camp Nou on Tuesday and Messi struck three minutes later on his return to the starting line-up.
The game was over as a contest just before half-time when Suarez scored a stunning volley, before Messi, Gerard Pique and Adriano added gloss to the scoreline in the second half.
BATE Borisov’s draw with Bayer Leverkusen earlier in the day meant Barca were already sure of a place in the last 16, but the victory means they have wrapped up top spot ahead of their final game against the Bundesliga side.
Despite only having five points from as many games after a harrowing 90 minutes which also saw Edin Dzeko miss a late penalty before then netting a consolation, Roma are still in pole position to qualify in second place.
The Italians now have to better Leverkusen’s result against Barca when they play BATE to reach the knockout rounds.
