Detained by PSG draw, Barcelona eliminated from the Champions League

PSG advanced to the quarter-finals 5-2 on aggregate against Barcelona.

PARIS - Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League, after only a draw against Paris Saint Germain (PSG) with a score of 1-1 in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 at the Parc de Princess Stadium, Thursday (11/3) early morning WIB. With this result, PSG qualified for the Champions League quarter-finals, winning 5-2 on aggregate.


Marco Verratti opened up opportunities early in the first half by trying to get into the penalty box. Verratti made a low pass, but the Barca defender blocked it. Meanwhile, the opportunities from Idrissa Gueye and Marquinhos have yet to pay off.

As for Barca's chances from Sergio Busquets, Pedri and Jordi Alba's header until the 10th minute have not produced results. In the 13th minute, Lionel Messi's promising opportunity from the limits of the penalty box can still be countered.




Continuing in the 19th minute, Ousmane Dembele entered the penalty area to welcome the pass. But his shot was easily anticipated by Keylor Navas. Four minutes later, Sergino Dest broke through the defensive line, but his shot ricocheted off the crossbar.

In the 29th minute, Mauro Icardi falls into the penalty area after a challenge from an opposing defender. Icardi was pulled out because he could no longer play. The foul on Icardi made Referee Anthony Taylor get a signal to check the penalty claim previously made by PSG using VAR.

Clement Lenglet was finally awarded a yellow card. PSG is entitled to one penalty kick. Mbappe successfully puts the ball into the top left corner of the net in the 31st minute of the penalty.

Navas made another great save in the 36th minute to knock out a header that was directed onto the roof inside the net by Antoine Griezmann.

Barca equalized in the 37th minute through Lionel Messi. Messi, who received the pass without hesitation, fired a long-range shot into the top left corner of the net without being able to reach Navas.

In the 42nd minute, Busquet receives an accurate pass that cuts through the opponent's defense. He also shot the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal, but was able to be secured by Navas.

Layvin Kurzawa violated Griezmann hard in first half injury time. This violation resulted in a penalty that Messi failed to take full advantage of. Navas saved the penalty with his foot.

At the start of the second half, the game got harder and harder until Idrissa Gueye and Leandro Paredes were rewarded with yellow cards for hard tackles. As a result of this yellow card, Paredes will miss the next Champions League match.

Lionel Messi receives a good pass in the penalty box in the 61st minute, but his shot at goal has already been blocked by the PSG defense. A similar opportunity that Messi got eight minutes later from the result of Dembele's pass also did not bear fruit, Messi instead lost the ball in the penalty box.

Navas cleared the net again from a Busquets header from a corner with an early jump in the 70th minute. Trincao gets the rebound right outside the box in the 75th minute, but his shot is cleared by the PSG defense.

Barca dominated the attacks in the second half. PSG chose to focus on defense. Mauricio Pochettino's men rarely took the option of attacking. The golden opportunity that was born in the 83rd minute from Mauro Icardi's feet went wide to the right of the goal.

The rest, PSG's golden opportunity is owned by Mbappe's effort, who easily beat the Barca defender in the penalty box in the 90th minute. Unfortunately Mbappe's shot was slightly missed over the crossbar. Furthermore, Barca could no longer create an unsettling opportunity for the PSG goal. The match ended with the score at 1-1.
