Another one of those European nights for Barcelona. After Raphina and Lamine Yamal gave Barça the early lead, Araujo's red card sealed their fate. It was only a matter of time before Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and PSG ended another Champions League campaign for Barcelona.

Really a shame Yamal had to make room for another defender. It looked like he was going to have a much better game than last game
I dont agree with the idea that this was a “collapse” or we were “humilated”. It was a one goal margin tie and at the end of the day on aggregate it was 6-4, and we had PSG on their heels when it was 5-4 with raph and gundo hitting woodwork. It just shows the reality of a competition like this where one play can turn an entire tie on its head, this was a competitive match until the end and we fought despite being down to 10 men. In my opinion it was a very very weak red and it should have been a yellow or maybe not even a foul given how barcola dived. I liked what i saw from us given the circumstances though and up until the red we were in control. Lets hope we can keep this core together and reinforce the areas we lack in the summer specifically when it comes to the DM spot. VISCA BARCA VISCA CATALUNYA UNTIL I DIE

Its a humiliation. Xavi's approach to the game was all wrong. Instead of Attacking the opponents he tried to play defensive and let them have the ball. Parking the bus is not our strong suit. Barca pretty much scored with their first shot and got lucky. I'm happy Xavi will be leaving Barca.

Barca will keep rebuilding for decades to come. Next Arsenal. Too much hype but no trophies
I am sad but in all honesty, moments like this (Araujo red card) in football is expected. The more pressing thought I have at the moment is the perception of most Barca fans hoping for Barca to do a miracle run. Barca is not the best team in Europe. Not even top 4 at the moment. Going deep in the CL was extremely important but what is more important is - improvement. After the 2019 season, the team stopped being dominant in Europe. Even though we've lost this tie, I think we've shown that we would be competing in Europe amongst top teams. At the very least, I am willing to admit that this was a progressive season. In terms of trophies, absolute failure but in the long run, there are some things to celebrate. I hope this is the kind of 'suffering' that will bring back European glory to Barca.

Maybe the right time to move on to next stage of evolution, both xavi and the youngsters in the squad
Despite Araujo's big mistake, Xavi made the mistake of bringing off our biggest goal threat and spark, Yamal. I would've sacrificed one of the defensively incapable midfielders and brought on Hector Fort at RB shifting Kounde to CB and played in a 441. And also would've brought off Lewandowski for Ferran for more press and pace on counter attacks.
When Araujo made that error i knew that it was the end. I am feeling really bad.

I think Xavi out coached Luis Enrique and without that red card we had them. Even with 10 players we had great opportunities at the end that could have at least taken us to extra time. Extremely sad while extremely proud of our team. So sad Xavi might not take another go at it.
He should’ve taken Lewy out. You’re playing a man down and need runners. Barca is not a good team without the ball. Xavi should’ve been more aggressive by demanding his team fight and control the ball instead of sitting back. It may still have been a bridge too far, but I feel the team should and could have done better. Araju and Cancelo made huge mistakes.

The problem with that is the strategy was to hit to Lewy and for him to hold it up, which worked well in bypassing their press last time. Without him we weren’t going to be able to do that, and that’s more damaging than having one less runner

Painful nights like this will only make glory days feel that much better. We probably have the strongest generation of young players itw. We are already very competitive and the young players will only get better and better, year after year. Pedri; Yamal; Cubarsi and co. Are the future of this team, not to mention guys like Darvich; Bernal; Guille Fernandez and Faye are still coming through. All we have to do is weed out the unnecessary contracts/players and continue to add players who garnish the squad either if their a young talent or a veteran. It’s tough because the ref was garbage and PSG are a team far from City or Madrid, but that’s just football. Visca Barca, Visca Catalunya ❤💙
This game has me rethinking signing Cancelo. He was solid until he wasnt and was responsible for 2 of PSG goals.
Araujo made the worst decision in his Barcelona career! What was he thinking?? No way he should make that tackle. Such a bad bad decision by an elite defender. Sabitzer was in a similar situation with Morata and he let him alone to go, eventually Morata missed. How can he not know that going down a goal is always better than going down a man! Ridiculous judgment on his part. He cost us this game and he failed his team mates. And Lewandowski, the least said about him the better! Very shocking! Fine margins! I cried 😢😢 seeing this match and I’m a grown man.

He has made a lot of errors in the past, but fans have a rose tinted glasses on. If you watch him without bias, you can see he is pretty average, no where near the world's best CB which deluded Barca fans claim him to be. His distribution is also lacking.

I was anxious about this and tie before a ball was kicked. Our depleted and inexperienced squad always left a feeling of being on borrowed time in the ucl. Lets hope FFP can ease up a bit and we can truly build a team so that we don't put strain on players trying to compete with the money clubs for much longer. We just did not have the depth or squad strength to go all the way here.
Weak red and Araujo at fault for committing when it wasn't necessary...
Now it feels like araujo should have risk letting barcola shoot. Even if it had been a goal we wouldnt have been 1 man down
In the build up to this game, I kept saying we needed to go with 3 at the back, and try to use our wingbacks to pin them back. In the second half of the first leg, they had so much succes with their front 3, and still, Xavi didn’t prepare for it. Why 5 man defense? In this game, with the back 4, they simply overloaded 1 side, and then switched play. This caused so many problems, as the other winger was completely free, just like the first goal
Alé alé alééé Sucks what happened but Força Barça!
Speaking 1980's, perhaps last season Liga title was more resemble our 1985 counterpart. Also remembered Demon also with us last season, bottled Copa Del Rey semi-final against RM, did it again at B team promotion play off, against our arch rival reserve. Road of recovery is going to be long.

It is supposed to be long
Barca should have dropped De Jong in the back and move Raphina to the midfield and leave Yamal in the game
I will say one thing, Xavi was emotionally immature and the 10 players lost another opportunity to benefit from wise counsel from their coach in the dugout. And this is the guy judging Vini Jr for questioning the referees. He should take lessons from Xabi Alonso.
This is good for Laliga...we are weak. FFP rule really applied today
You know what, I’m proud of this team, I believe they still showed up this season. It was it the palm of their hands, a gift of life, but like anything in life, it get get taken away from you fast. They will move on, and I think this team mixed with new next season can make semis.
Stay strong Dan. We tried until the end. Not our day. Barca today defeated by FATE. We'll go again. VISCA BARCA.

Barca fans must be proud of how far the team has come. The red card changed the entire dynamic of this game. As a sevilla fan, i believe this team will get better with time. De jong needs tutoring from xavi on purposeful passing and plays. A midfield enforcer like onana should be signed to complement the likes of pedri and co. If this team works on quick transitional plays they will win the ucl soon. Xavi can do it.

Its okay xavi needs to learn and grow. Barca is not the place where you do it. Pep was lucky he had the golden generation at their right age, which gave him space and time to learn and grow. Xavi doesnt have that luxury. You dont turn the world around with 2 teenagers and a bunch of 30+ yo players who passed their peak and a bunch of injury prones. If it is true that xavi got an offer from ajax i hope he takes it. Will be a very valuable experience for him
Second sign of inexperience is taking out our pace with Lamines exit after the red card. Pedri could have gone out being fresh from injury
Xavi gets expelled instead of grinding it out. As many of us knew, given his choice, the same ineffectual players would get the start: Frenkie DoNothing who never has big games. Yamal is taken out for Martinez. Xavi quit fighting. He sacrificed the boys who beat Napoli: Fermin and Yamal. He is a coward. Torres comes on and does nothing, as expected. Xavi is a disaster and he needs to leave. Need to sell the overpriced FDJ and his deplorable CL record. Man is a ghost and that's not just his complection.

For me, Barca are not that far away from the european top. If they had stayed with 11vs11, they would probably have won the tie. It was just bad luck this time. Until the red card, PSG had no clear chance on goal and Barca dominated the first leg over many periods as well. And all this with all those injuries and suspensions. Also they did not crumble mentally like in the 8:2 against Bayern. For me, the future looks quite bright...
