Barcelona appeared to be in command with a two-goal aggregate lead and control of the game in Spain, but the situation spiraled into chaos.
Barcelona suffered a setback as Paris St-Germain claimed a 4-1 victory in a chaotic match at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys. Ronald Araujo's red card changed the game, leading to PSG's comeback from a 3-2 deficit in the first leg to win 6-4 on aggregate.
Kylian Mbappe's double, Vitinha's long-range goal, and Ousmane Dembele's strike against his former team sealed Barcelona's fate in the Champions League quarter-final.
Referee Istvan Kovacs faced criticism for his performance, issuing three red cards to Barcelona, including one to manager Xavi. Xavi expressed frustration, citing the referee's impact on the match and the season.
"We are disappointed because the red card changed everything. With 11 players, we were in control and playing well," Xavi said to Movistar Plus.
