Gerard Pique has suggested a fragile mentality may have cost Barcelona to lose their grip on their Champions League semi final against Liverpool, admitting his side were still feeling the effects from their calamitous exit to Roma last season.
Barca went to Anfield for the second leg of their semi final having taken the first leg by three goals to nil, but were ripped apart by Jurgen Klopp's men, who didn't look back after Divock Origi's seventh minute opener.
A further brace from Georginio WIjnaldum and another from Origi secured the Reds' passage to Madrid, and having gone out against Roma in similar circumstances a year ago - losing 3-0 in Italy after a 4-1 victory at Camp Nou - many were quick to point out the parallels.
