Enrique on Barcelona 6-1 rout: Beautiful to see players enjoy themselves

Published on: 24 November 2015

Barcelona thrashed Roma 6-1 in their Champions League encounter last night.

Lionel Messi's return after two months of injury restored Europe's most devastating attacking trio, with the Argentina forward scoring twice.

Luis Suarez grabbed a brace of his own, with Gerard Pique and Adriano also on target as Barcelona secured top spot in Group E and a place in the last 16.

Though Neymar missed a late penalty, the Brazil striker had a hand in the two opening goals and looked threatening throughout.

Edin Dzeko had a penalty saved too, and that after heading wide from 10 yards with the game goalless, as Roma endured a night to forget.

The on-loan Manchester City striker grabbed the final word with a goal in stoppage time, but by then the visitors had long since been swept aside.

Barca coach Luis Enrique stated: "When you see your players enjoy themselves, it is all the more beautiful.

"It's important there are things to improve, of course we are in a very sweet moment and hope to lengthen it for as long as possible. I see the team very involved, all eager to participate.

"We take every game with the need to know that we must use the pressure and the more you practice, the better. We are in the first third of the season and the squad knows the best is still to come. We must go slowly."
