Barcelona's Champions League Journey Ends with 4-1 Defeat to PSG
Barça's Hopeless Comeback Hopes Dashed
Mbappé's Double Guides PSG to Semis
Barcelona, Spain - April 16, 2024 - 4:00 AM PDT - Barcelona's Champions League dreams have been extinguished after a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-final second leg at Camp Nou. Despite winning the first leg 3-2 in Paris, Barça succumbed to a devastating second-half collapse.
Barcelona's defense crumbled under the weight of PSG's attacking prowess, with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice and Neymar and Marquinhos also finding the net. The Catalans' hopes were further diminished when Sergio Busquets was sent off in the 72nd minute, leaving them exposed to PSG's relentless pressure.
This latest setback marks yet another disappointing Champions League campaign for Barcelona, who have now suffered three second-leg comebacks in the competition since winning the title in 2015. The defeat also raises questions about the future of manager Xavi Hernández, who has failed to deliver the European success that the club craves.
Meanwhile, PSG's victory sends them through to the semi-finals and keeps alive their hopes of winning their first Champions League trophy. Mbappé's performance was particularly impressive, with the French star showcasing his exceptional speed, skill, and finishing ability.
