Roma secured an impressive 4-2 pre-season win over Barcelona last night, despite a goal by former Giallorossi target Malcom.
Eusebio Di Francesco’s team scored three times in the final 15 minutes of the contest in Dallas to overturn a 2-1 deficit.
Rafinha opened the scoring early on for the Spanish champions, before Stephan El Shaarawy’s strike sent the sides in level at half-time.

Brazilian Malcom, who was set to join Roma from Bordeaux last week before Barca hijacked the deal at the eleventh hour, then restored his new team’s lead shortly after the break.
But late goals by Alessandro Florenzi, Bryan Cristante and Diego Perotti’s penalty ensured the Stadio Olimpico side won despite enjoying just 30 per cent of possession.
Di Francesco’s men, beaten 4-1 by Tottenham Hotspur last week, face Barca’s arch rivals Real Madrid in their final International Champions Cup match in the early hours of next Wednesday morning.
