No repeat miracle for eliminated Barcelona as Juventus stand firm
This was his last Champions League game as Barcelona coach and the first time he had seen them fail to win at Camp Nou, meaning Juventus will be in the semi-finals instead. They had deserved it, Luis Enrique conceded after the Italians went through 3-0 on aggregate with a 0-0 draw here.
The Barça coach had talked about making their opponents nervous, but that never happened. Watching them, you wondered if they ever worry. “Psychologically, we never wavered,” Max Allegri, the Juventus coach, said and therein lay one huge difference with PSG. Andrés Iniesta had spoken about the need to take the game into a place where the comeback at least became possible but Barcelona never got there. Juventus simply would not let them. Neymar left in tears, embraced by Dani Alves, who then joined his Juve team-mates saluting their supporters.
The momentum built. Gianluigi Buffon saved from Messi, who slammed the rebound into the side-netting. Suárez skewed wide. If the chances were not always clear-cut – Messi’s apart – they were growing in number; by half-time Barcelona had taken nine shots, and the ball had been theirs 63% of the time. Juventus broke when they could, Higuaín sliding in to connect with a low volley from close range.
