Very little was left to return to the locker room for the interval, when Messi turned off Juventus' dream of coming out unscathed again this time from the Camp Nou. It would have been completed only half of the work, it is true, but probably start the second part of the game with the result of 0-0 would have played another game, perhaps equal to the one that until the last minute of the first half had done record a substantial balance. And instead Messi thinks about changing the evening of the Champions League of bianconeri and blaugrana. The champion, you know, has this task, to take his team by the hand and to play with games that move the fate of a match. Juventus had defended well and managed to neutralize a Catalan attack without particular troubles, which at least until that moment had not seemed dangerous. Until then, precisely, because then we think "he", who until then had played a normal game, without flashes of genius. Just one distraction and "the flea", after one-two with Suarez, beats with a diagonal low shot of the left Buffon. To watch the second half you should pay extra, but we do not make ourselves heard because the greedy football industry could take a simple joke like this seriously. Start the recovery that turns from Barcelona-Juventus, to Messi Show. The Argentine champion hits the post, creates the goal of 2-0 scored by Rakitic who only asks to put on the net one of his shot rejected by Sturaro. The 3-0, always on the left, is the result of an unsuccessful conclusion for Buffon, after a lost ball by Bernardeschi.
Roma, at the Olimpico stadium, managed to stop Atletico Madrid but had to thank its goalkeeper Allison, author of a decidedly over-the-top test, characterized by some miraculous interventions. The first fraction of the game is not a big problem for the Giallorossi facing the Spaniards without particular troubles, fighting basically a match until then full of opportunities on both sides. The Atletico could pass with Saul, Rome, after protesting for an unseen sacrosanct rigor, he replies with Nainggolan. Then Manolas saves a shot by Koke on the line.
The second half looks like another game, and as in Barcelona it was "the time of Messi", here in Rome we could title this fraction of play to the Giallorossi goalkeeper Allison author of a sensational test that finds its climax when the Brazilian opposes first to Vietto and then to a sort of moving rigor of Saul. In an Olympic stadium galvanized in the second half more by the news coming from Barcelona, greeted with discreet rumbles of the audience, which from the race he witnessed live, ends 0-0 with the Roma that despite having to thank his goalkeeper for this first important point Champions, recriminates for an arbitrage not considered up to due to a net penalty not granted and another very doubtful both on the basis of Perotti.
