Barcelona president, Joan Laporta, has reacted to his team’s elimination from the UEFA Champions League this season.

Barcelona were eliminated from the Champions League after losing 3-0 to Bayern Munich at Camp Nou on Wednesday.

The Catalan club were praying for a miracle that would see Viktoria Plzen defeat Inter Milan to give them a lifeline in the Champions League.

However, Inter ended up thrashing Plzen and condemned Xavi Hernandez’s men to another European elimination.

Reacting, Laporta said that it was a shame to see Barca crash out of the tournament by losing 3-0 to Bayern in Spain.

“It’s a shame, but you can’t blame the players or the coach for anything,” Laporta told Barca TV.

“We have to look forward because we have La Liga and other competitions left.”
