Dani Alves – 8 Linked up well with Messi as always, drifting in from the right to offer an extra option to his forwards. Key in build-up play.
Bartra – 7 Calm and composed. Stepped across Falque well to halt a break from the ex-Barca youngster in the first half. Slid in well to deny Gervinho shot after Alves mistake.
Vermaelen – 7 Held off Destro well to deny a dangerous Roma break before the interval and was calm on the ball. Taken off at the break.
Mathieu – 7 Whipped in some decent crosses from advanced areas and looked to break beyond his marker whenever possible. Neat cut back from out wide as an assist for Neymar’s opener.
Rakitic – 9 Constant source of energy and intelligence. Pressed brightly and ensured that Roma’s full backs had few passing options. Scored a second-half screamer, before forcing De Sanctis into a great save late on.
Mascherano 7 – Tracked back well to make a couple of scrappy sliding tackles on Falque and sat at the base of the midfield in disciplined fashion.
Rafinha – 6 Responsible for blazing a couple of close-range efforts over the crossbar inside the opening half an hour.
Suarez – 8 Linked up well with Alves and played a role in the second Barcelona goal. Released by Messi on two first-half occasions, but was denied well by Szczesny.
Messi – 8 Netted a tidy goal after a neat move involving Suarez, Alves and Neymar. Fortunate to not see red after a clear headbutt on Mapou in his first-half showing.
Neymar – 8 Danced around Szczesny to slot home the game’s opening goal and drifted in from the left to give Mathieu space to run into.
SUBS
Jordi Alba 6 - Went close early in the second half after overlapping down the left-hand side. Substituted for Halilovic due to injury.
Sergio 8 – Played the easy ball effortlessly and with precision. Broke up play when asked, before driving onwards.
Pique 6 – Didn’t put a foot wrong, but wasn’t asked to do a great deal defensively, with no runners in behind due to the introduction of Totti.
Iniesta 7 – Mazily dribbled past two players in the penalty area, before teeing up Pedro. Always looked to be positive with his passing.
Bravo 6 – Had nothing much to do, other than watch a De Rossi effort bobble wide, though his distribution lacked at times.
Sandro 6 – Full of energy and endeavour, but lacked a final ball. Linked up well with his midfield runners, but couldn’t execute his ideas.
Munir 6 – Tried his luck with a dipping half volley from 25 yards out, which whizzed over De Sanctis’ crossbar, but was generally quite quiet.
