Despite an excellent first half, perhaps its best this season, Barcelona were eliminated tonight (Wednesday) from the Champions League and will not be in the quarter-finals for the first time since 2006/07.
The Catalans came to the Parc de France hoping to bring about a remontade like four years ago at the Camp Nou, but Paris Saint-Germain learned the lesson and advanced a step thanks to a 1-1 home draw that kept the big win 1-4 away.
Last season’s finalist will be in the quarter-final draw next Friday, while Lionel Messi who scored a spectacular equalizer and also missed Pendel, will see the continuation of the factory games from home, just like Cristiano Ronaldo.
For the first time since 2005, the two biggest stars of world football will not be in the quarter-finals.
