In what proved to be a disastrous evening for Barcelona, Goal takes a look at the Champions League reaction from the European media
The dissection has already begun.
Barcelona travelled to the Italian capital on Tuesday evening clutching a three-goal advantage but will return to Catalunya empty-handed.
Lionel Messi and Co. were 4-1 winners in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie against Roma and looked comfortable in making their way to the final four.
However, a 3-0 victory for the Serie A side at Stadio Olimpico in the decisive leg sent Roma through in their place, with the result sparking jubilation in Italy but devastation in Spain.
But how did the national papers react to the results? Goal takes a look.

If I am a hate I wouldn't say he is a good player ,I know that is his style thats why I said he just walking means without danger. Both players Ronaldo and Messi will do nothing without a strong team .by the way ronaldo scored 8 goals last year in the qualifying stages so I think he is the major reason pf real madrid wining the champion not mentioning the previous years.
Ronaldo performs wen the team performs n then make it seem like he did it all on his own. after the first leg of PSG game, he said, and I quote "I stood out" did he stand out? scoring a penalty earned by kroos n a cross from asensio that met him instead of him meeting it. he once said again wen they were losing and i quote "if my team mates were on my level" well they're not on his level yet they provide him so many goals, if they were on his level he'd have no goals cuz they'd score themselves. he rely greatly on the team to score wen was the last time u saw Ronaldo score a goal he created from nothing? wen u can answer me than then we'll talk about who relies solely on their teams performance. Leo has an injury n is still trying to play on it. we played Sevilla n was losing 2-0 n he had to come on n change things n he's injured he has to be over exerting himself bcuz no body seems to step up if he's having a bad game n all players have bad games yet messi is not allowed to chill in a game if he does he's criticized in every which way

Hey,your talking too much, Just admitted that As Roma was a better team than your Bracelona team even your so called God of BARCELONA didn't see ball played not even to dribble or to hold the ball or to tap just a goal from inside the box, As you Braca fans claimed that Ronaldo CR7 is always in the box and tap in goal, Why your Messi didn't just stay inside the box and tap in goal, if it's easy to tap in , Now many excuses because Bracelona is a looser too. Listen let me tell you Messi is just good player like Salah ok And Messi didn't came from any another planet as you Braca fans claimed, if really that Messi is the best he should've shoe his class for a game like this, Just only one goal Bracelona needed to progress to semi final but your so called God of BARCELONA did nothing, Just keep quiet and stop talking too much , Barcelona is a looser and always a looser , Common As Roma beated Braca very well ,infact it could've been more goals like 4 to 5 goals .

There was only one player who missed in Barca's lineup, his name is OWN GOAL! Had he been present, they would have managed. They have always trusted him so much till he left them yesterday.
