Barcelona players are frustrated at the end (Reuters)
Before the match, Luis Enrique believed in his team. The coach of Paris Saint-Germain stated that his team was going to reverse the 3:2 loss in the first match and pass Barcelona, and it was.
The Parisians went up with a big 1:4, and Barcelona? She ended her journey with a big heartbreak and will be back busy in the league, trying to recover for the El Clasico against Real Madrid on Sunday.
But Barcelona is not only saying goodbye to the Champions League, but also to the Club World Cup, the new FIFA tournament that will be held for the first time in 2025 and will include 32 clubs from all over the world.

Entry into the tournament is based on the teams’ achievements in the Champions League in the last four seasons, when in order to enter, the Catalans had to qualify for the semi-finals. As mentioned, this did not happen, and the one who picked up the ticket is Atlético Madrid, even though they were eliminated after 4:2 to Dortmund.
By the way, those who will be included in the tournament among the 12 European teams that will play in it are: Manchester City, Chelsea, Inter, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Porto and Benfica. Barcelona will wait for the next opportunity – in the tournament to be held in 2029.
