Roma defender Florenzi speechless after netting wonder-goal against Barcelona

That canceled out Luis Suarez’s 21st-minute opener for the visitors.

Florenzi looked to possibly get a victor in the 75th minute, only for his effort this time to go blazing above the goal. I could not give it to Dzeko but I managed to score a great goal. Roma protested for a perceived foul moments earlier by Lionel Messi on Lucas Digne.

Two late goals steered Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich to a 3-0 win at Olympiakos.

It also happened in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao, when Mikel San Jose lobbed a long clearance back over the goalkeeper’s head with a shot from inside the center circle. “But it was a very good match for Barcelona and I’m very satisfied with what I saw on the pitch”.

Former Manchester United forward Javier Hernandez scored for Bayer Leverkusen as they easily saw off Belarusian champions BATE Borisov 4-1 at home. “I don’t know if Totti or the Pope are more important in Rome, but I can certainly say that for Francesco, the Roma shirt is like a second stint”.

“A dream result would have been to win it, but we were virtually ideal “, said Garcia.

But, the officials came to Roma’s rescue shortly afterwards when Suarez threatened to get in behind the home defence.

The club adds that he is expected to be back in “four to six weeks”.

“We’ve improved”, Roma coach Garcia said. We reckon he helps out with household chores and always pets stray cats and is a generally pleasant fellow. “It’s a marvelous incentive worthy of all the Barca family and the team”. It was a stupid challenge but, despite Suarez’s protests, he had poked the ball out of play and it was not a penalty.

From an impossible angle and distance, Alessandro Florenzi struck the ball with flawless accuracy, speed, and power to arch over a stranded and desperate goalkeeper, scoring one of the best individual strikes the Champion’s League has ever seen, and perhaps the goal of the season.

Arsene Wenger’s men fell behind on 24 minutes when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain put through his own net and their troubles were compounded with Olivier Giroud dismissed for a second yellow card just before half-time.

The Italian sides are known for their discipline and stubbornness at the back and this was proven by their desire to shut last season’ s most lethal attacking force in Messi, Neymar and Suarez. Ronaldo is two years older than Messi.
