Lionel Messi scored his first two goals after a two-month injury layoff, and Luis Suárez also scored twice in a 6-1 rout of visiting Roma on Tuesday, as Barcelona advanced to the Champions League knockout rounds for a 12th consecutive season.
Suárez got Barcelona rolling in the 15th minute. Three minutes later, in his second game since he returned from a knee injury, Messi scored his first goal.
Barcelona had already qualified for the next phase before kickoff after Bayer Leverkusen was held to a 1-1 draw at BATE Borisov, but the victory secured the defending champions the top spot in Group E with a game to spare.
