When Barcelona took to the field at the Parc des Princes, few anticipated them being torn to shreds by Paris Saint-Germain.

The French side put four past their opponents, with Ángel Di María the star of the show with a brace, and - if anything - the hosts could have scored even more. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/831604588843323398 Barcelona haven't exited Europe's top competition at the last-16 stage for a full decade, with Rafa Benitez's Liverpool the last side to eliminate them before the quarter-finals, and they face a tall order to even come close to overturning the 4-0 deficit. So, were people shedding a tear for the struggles of Messi, Neymar, Suárez, Iniesta and co? Well, maybe Barça fans were, but they were a pretty lonely bunch. https://twitter.com/joehallwords/status/831608421942181888 https://twitter.com/tokenbg/status/831613561076121600 https://twitter.com/FutbolsaCountry/status/831608845382344704 https://twitter.com/allynhii/status/831608373011480576 People were baying for blood, even after Edinson Cavani rounded off the scoring in the second half. https://twitter.com/janhopis/status/831614089906491392 But we should give credit to PSG, who put in one of the best European performances of any club in the last few years. https://twitter.com/Philby1976/status/831610491864805377 And, after some glorious seasons, perhaps a changing of the guard is just what we needed. https://twitter.com/JamesHorncastle/status/831594809773146112 Some are saying it could be the end for manager Luis Enrique. https://twitter.com/_Zeets/status/831600619236556803 But it's not that bad, right? https://twitter.com/JackPittBrooke/status/831613974353477633 Catch up with this week's episode of 888sport Football Friday Live
