Roma midfielder Florenzi goes on a marauding run down the right-hand side before unleashing a surprise shot from long range
Alessandro Florenzi scored an incredible goal from more than 60 yards as Roma held defending champions Barcelona to a 1-1 draw in Group E of the Champions League.
There was also some questionable conduct from Luis Suarez in an entertaining match at the Stadio Olimpico.
After an opening goal from Suarez, Florenzi's equaliser came just after the half-hour mark.
Two strides after dribbling past the centre line on the right flank, Florenzi saw goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen far out of his goal and launched a shot over the German's head that went in off the post.
Suarez, who gained notoriety for biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at last year's World Cup, later appeared to kick Roma goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny in the chest after being denied by the Poland international.
It's not the first time Ter Stegen has conceded a goal while out of position this season.
It also happened in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao, when Mikel San Jose lobbed Ter Stegen
