It was actually not a total whitewash. Poor Barcelona in beautiful yellow jersey played their hearts out but the result was nothing to take home to Spain. The march did not turn out to be the speculators prediction of a competition between Mbappe and Messi. Yes, Barcelona which had come to the match with 4-1 goal deficit had every reason to be focused in the game. This they did. They possessed the ball more than 60 percent all through the game. But it was just one of those days that what ever forces control football deserted them. So many attacks on the opponents eighteen yielded nothing. Just as if a giant hand was weaving every kind of ill luck against them, a questionable penalty was awarded against them which, which young Mbappe clinically slotted in, no sweat in the 30th minute of the game. However, seven minutes later, Messi sent a blitzering thunder shot which the PSG goalkeeper could do nothing about. Then a ray of hope came into the Spaniards team as a penalty was awarded for them. Alas and behold, it was blocked by the Barcelona keeper with his feet. The ball went up and hit the cross bar of the post, and desperate efforts by the Barca boys to put in the net was just the attempt but not the deed.
No Messi magic, no nothing. The total score, 5-2. Barca just like Juv did the previous day, crashed out of the UEFA competition before the quarter finals.
