Clement Lenglet’s Barca crash out of the Champions League in stunning fashion

French defender Clement Lenglet’s Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League in spectacular fashion as they lost 4-0 to Liverpool in the second leg of their UCL semifinal at Anfield.

Barca’s centre back pairing of Lenglet and Gerard Pique were unable to stop the Reds from scoring four, and the way their defences switched off for goals 3 and 4 would’ve been particularly disappointing for manager Ernesto Valverde to watch.

L’Equipe’s ratings for the evening had Lenglet at a 3/10. Horror day for the Barca defence- no one got more than 3.
