This morning (April 17), Barca hosted PSG at home in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2023/2024 European Cup. Despite winning 3-2 in the first leg and leading 1-0 after 12 minutes of play in the second leg, coach Xavi's team still lost 1-4 and 4-6 on aggregate to be eliminated.
The turning point of the second leg of the quarter-final was Araujo's red card in the 29th minute, which opened the door for PSG's incredible comeback. Speaking to the media after the match, coach Xavi affirmed: "It's useless to talk about this match because the referee ruined everything.
The red card changed the whole game. I don't want to talk about the referee but I can't stay silent. We had to stop in the European Cup 1 this season because of the referee's mistakes. I told the referee that he was very bad and a disaster."
Not only Barca, but also La Liga's other representative Atletico Madrid was eliminated after losing to Dortmund in the second leg with a score of 2-4. Previously, in the first leg, Atletico Madrid won the German representative with a score of 2-1.
According to the 2023/2024 European Cup schedule, at 2:00 a.m. on April 18, the remaining two second-leg quarter-final matches will take place, which are the matches between Bayern vs Arsenal and Man City vs Real Madrid.
