The biggest embarrassment of all time.
That’s how Sport, one of the big two Catalan newspapers, has described Barcelona’s loss at Anfield against Liverpool to crash out of the Champions League.
The Reds stunned the Spanish champions 4-0, a year on from a similar collapse against Roma last season at the Stadio Olimpico.
Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo simply caption a picture of Barcelona players looking dejected with: “Blush.”
They add: “A Barcelona without life collapses at Anfield. A ridiculous goal conceded from a corner is an epitaph of this team.”
