Fans react to Barcelona’s humiliating Champions League exit at Roma: ‘Time to admit Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi, maybe?’

Barcelona were all-but through in the Champions League after a 4-1 first leg win over Roma.

At least, that’s what we thought.

But nobody accounted for an inspired Roma performance that sent the Italians through on the away goals rule after a 3-0 second leg victory.

And they called Roma the easiest opposition you could face in the quarter finals alongside Sevilla.

And fans were quick to point to a largely anonymous performance from Barcelona’s star man, Lionel Messi.

Still think Messi is the better player by quite a way, but his record in the biggest competitions compared to Ronaldo’s in the latter stages of their career is looking very shoddy
