So, there will be no Barca in the last eight, but last year’s runners up are through and, with a bit of luck for Pochettino, Neymar will be fit by the time those games roll around.
It’s all over in Paris, and PSG have progressed 5-2 on aggregate. After a thrilling first half, Barca could just not find a way through in the second half, but even if they had scored, they would have needed to repeat it another two times without conceding even to force extra-time. As it is, Messi’s penalty miss on the stroke of half-time probably signalled the end of Barca’s comeback hopes.
