Spanish Giants, Barcelona have crashed out of the UEFA Champions League, following a goalless draw with Juventus at the Camp Nou.

It was a sad Wednesday night for the Catalans, as the attacking combo of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar failed to help them progress to the next round of the competition.

After losing 3-0 to the visiting Italians in the first leg, fans believed the team would replicate the greatest fightback it staged earlier against Paris Saint-Germain in the round-of-16.

Juventus, however, frustrated efforts made by their hosts, as they produced an exceptional defensive performance to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
