Barcelona fails, Lookman's goal and Garcia's red card eliminate the

Barcelona has been eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, after a hard-fought duel with Atletico Madrid at the "Metropolitano", in a match that ended 1-2 for the Catalans, but with the Madrid team qualifying after a 0-2 triumph in the first leg at the "Camp Nou".

The return match began with excitement and in the best possible way for Flick's team, who took the lead through Lamine Yamal. In the 24th minute, it was Ferran Torres who scored the second, raising hopes of a "Remontade".

However, after 7 minutes, it was Ademola Lookman who restored calm to the Madrid camp, once again giving them the advantage in the overall score.

The Catalans tried until the end, but in the 79th minute, Eric Garcia ruined everything, being punished with a red card.

Thus, Barcelona leaves the Champions League and the dream of winning the most prestigious trophy in Europe again is postponed for another year.

On the other hand, Atletico will host the winner of the Arsenal-Sporting Lisbon match in the semifinals.
