Barcelona touch down in Rome

FC Barcelona have already arrived in Rome, where they will face Rudi Garcia's Roma on Wednesday in their opening Champions League game of the season.

20 players joined Luis Enrique on the flight to Italy. That was every available first-team player plus Barça B lads Suárez and Gumbau.

Several of the players' relatives were also onboard, amongst them Messi's parents and brothers, who were all congratulated on the birth of the Argentine star's second child, Mateo. Rafinha's father, Mazinho, also travelled with the squad. He is close to agreeing a contract extension for his son at the club.
