Ronaldo Araujo's red card turned Barcelona's Champions League quarter-final with PSG on its head as the Blaugrana were eventually beaten 4-1 on the night to crash out of Europe
The Uruguayan's dismissal turned the tie on its head as the Blaugrana were eventually beaten 4-1 on the night to crash out of Europe
A defensive nightmare, ridden with errors and poor decisions, saw Barcelona crash out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals with a 6-4 aggregate loss to Paris Saint-Germain. Barca took the lead inside the first 15 minutes, as Lamine Yamal danced through PSG's backline before finding Raphinha, who couldn't miss from close-range. Things changed, though, when Ronald Araujo dragged Bradley Barcola down as he ran through on goal, earning himself a straight red for his clumsiness.
The tie turned on that incident, and ex-Barca winger Ousmane Dembele equalised on the night shortly before half-time, turning Barcola's angled cross into the roof of the net with Marc-Andre ter Stegen sprawling. The Parisians didn't need long to turn things round in the second half, either, as Vitinha scored with a drilled effort from outside the box before Kylian Mbappe made it 5-4 on aggregate with a clinical penalty.Everything devolved from there.
