UEFA Champions League: Barca, Reds Take Series Openers

The quarterfinal round of the UEFA Champions League continued on Wednesday with two games.


At Barcelona:

Own goals from Daniele De Rossi (38') and Kostas Manolas (55') proved decisive as Barcelona dominated visiting AS Roma 4-1 in the opening match of their two-game semifinal series.


The Catalans also got goals from Gerard Pique (59') and Luis Suarez (87'), who wore their own clubs' uniforms.
