Holders Barcelona eased into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 3-1 second-leg victory over Arsenal at the Nou Camp.
Leading 2-0 from the first leg, Lionel Messi forced David Ospina into a stunning save from close range, before Neymar slotted home a low finish.
Mohamed Elneny lashed in for Arsenal in the second half but Luis Suarez struck a brilliant volley for Barcelona.
Danny Welbeck hit the woodwork before Messi chipped in a sublime third.
Arsenal’s season was looking good a couple of months ago. They were top of the Premier League on 4 January but two wins in nine league games since has seen them fall 11 points behind leaders Leicester, although they do have a game in hand on the Foxes.
They have also gone out of the FA Cup – losing against Watford last weekend – and suffered their sixth straight last-16 exit from the Champions League too, leaving their season in disarray.
Arsene Wenger’s team selection for the match in Spain perhaps suggested he might have had one eye on Saturday’s Premier League match at Everton. — BBC Sport
