Barcelona's submission to Liverpool is "The Greatest Embarrassment In History" declared the city's local daily paper Sport on Wednesday.

Fresh in the memory, it tops last year's turnaround against Roma. Leading 4-1 after the first leg of the quarter-final, Barca lost 3-0 in the Serie A side and exited the tournament.

Unsurprisingly, Sport's player ratings were not kind to Barcelona. Only Arturo Vidal escaped with any kind of credit and he was rated a five. For the rest it was threes all the way apart from Ivan Rakitic and Philippe Coutinho who were both given zeros.

Mundo Deportvivo offered one-word summaries for each player. Again, Vidal was rated as the best.
