Before the game, Roma coach Rudi Garcia said: "We don't have an anti-Messi plan, just as there isn't one to stop [Luis] Suarez or [Andres] Iniesta.
"As [midfielder] Daniele De Rossi has said, you deal with the threat collectively, both in attack and defence."
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique added: "The goal of winning a second consecutive Champions League does not bring added pressure.
"We'll try to do it but it's not pressure - quite the opposite.
"When the ball starts to move there are no champions and no favourites but 32 teams who want to win the title."
