Barcelona vs Paris Saint-Germain: ‘Better Release Messi’ – Twitter Buzzing After Barca Crushed at Camp Nou
Messi #Messi
It will be a performance that both Barcelona and its legion of fans will want to forget as soon as possible. On Tuesday, the Catalan giants were handed a 4-1 thrashing by Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League last-16 clash at Camp Nou with a sensational Kylian Mbappe recording a hat-trick.
Lionel Messi and Co cut went ahead in the 27th minute with the Argentine converting a spot-kick. But after that, it was a one-way traffic with PSG firing four goals including three in the second half leaving many to wonder what would have happened if Neymar and Angel di Maria were fit for the clash.
La Remontada seems like a distant dream now. But fans are divided with few still hoping Barcelona will produce a repeat of their epoch-making comeback against the same opponent when they overturned a four-goal deficit to win 6-5 on aggregate in a round of 16 contest in 2017.
Fans and critics had a lot to say following the final whistle.
Barcelona will now travel to Paris for the second leg of the tie on March 10 hoping the scars of Tuesday night will have healed by then for them to overturn the massive deficit.
