Barcelona met Manchester City, and it was the sky blues who dominated from start to finish over both home and away legs.
"I don't get it." SB spoke at the press conference.
"How can this happen...? We should have played more attacking - this is my mistake."
It was a different story for rival Real Madrid - who completely dominated their Italian opponents Juventus in both legs of the tie. It took incredible goal keeping from Gigi Buffon to hold out a barrage of attack in the opening game before Juve struck twice from an incredible angle scoring not only once but twice from identicle positions.
The second match was again dominated by Madrid as early in the 2nd half they cut down the Juve advantage with strikes from Ozil and Benzema. A penalty shoot out decided this one and once again it was the brilliance of Buffon - coming up with 3 fine saves to deny Real Madrid a place in the QF.
"We were unlucky today." JM said immediately after the game.
"Once again penalties is our weakness - this is disappointing."
Both sides now drop into the Europa league where neither side will be pleased to find themselves however both will surely push for a trophy.
Man City celebrate one of many goals against Barcelona
Buffon and his team celebrate victory against Madrid
