Barcelona’s journey in this season’s Champions League came to a crushing end at the quarter-final stage in heartbreaking fashion despite a 2-1 win over Atlético Madrid in Tuesday’s second leg at the Metropolitano, which was not enough to overturn the two-goal deficit from the first leg.
Barça played a brilliant first half and continued to fight until the very end despite going down to 10 men at the end, but Ademola Lookman’s goal proved the difference and sent the Colchoneros to the semi-finals with a 3-2 aggregate victory.
Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid have thus qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League.
This follows the completion of the quarter-final second legs Tuesday.
In the first game, PSG travelled to Liverpool with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg.
Although there were no goals in the first half, Ousmane Dembele netted twice after the break as the holders progressed into the final four.
