Barcelona's defeat against Liverpool will be remembered like the other European disappointments of Seville, Athens and Rome, but surely this one will hurt even more.
This was a historic failure, from top to bottom.
It was a failure because they had a 3-0 advantage, because Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were out, because Jordi Alba made so many mistakes, because of the lack of awareness at the fourth goal, because of many things.
Liverpool were much better, but Barcelona were poor and blame will be shared around.
Of course, Ernesto Valverde will be scrutinised for his inability to find a solution.
Lionel Messi too will be judged for not scoring the kinds of goals at Anfield that he has been doing throughout the season.
It was a historic failure and it won't be easy for Barcelona to forget.

Fans are really funny , they try to show their opinions effectively showing their poorly behaving hearts. in the first place , whoever brought the idea that Messi was a GOD was wrong , there is only one GOD and like it or not , there always will be . Second , all the blame is on Messi, now he is a useless player and humiliative , trust me where he is he is taking a break with his family, problemlessly and despite the elimination he will be the player of the competition as people who will choose him wont see him as a team but an individual player . Third, why always compare him to Christiano ? who got out before the other ? Messi had done his part in the 1st leg, blame the team as a whole for loosing and not one man who lost his chance to play in a final because of others' mistakes .

Barca made several mistakes starting with the line up till the end of the game... Barca has never came up with a defensive game which they thought would be possible this time.. Semendo should have played the entire game as there is no dembele to cover up.. Sergio roberto should have come up as a substitute in the second half in replace of Vidal... hell the 442 formation was always wrong for Barca.. it's the 433 formation which the Barca players are always comfortable with.. there was multiple Miss passings... the players seemed to be over confident... they shouldn't have played defensive... again the substitutions should have been done little earlier...

Poor has killed barca for many years. It does not mean that we did not have good players but inability to notice strength and weaknesses of your players is great failure. Messi over the years is not being over serious in away games. Why can't such a big club find an alternative to that philosophy of Messi not being serious in away games? At least, a club of this calibre should be able to fill up that weak point of Messi not being serious with away games. If Messi mean to play, no defender can stop him but habit is a very dangerous thing so he himself cannot overcome it by himself. Messi needs proper counselling to break that yoke.
