Turan played the last 30 minutes of the Champions League second-leg tie against the French giants but was unable to help his side replicate last weeks heroics against Deportivo.
The Turkish international was actually heavily criticised by Barca fans after the game who were left disappointed with his and the teams display.
We took a look at how Barcelona fans reacted to his display on social media.
Bit harsh?
Andre Gomes and Arda Turan are cancerous.
Using them disrespects our collective intelligence.

Bit over the top?

Turan did not win many friends following his display against Deportivo.
No exaggeration to say that, as of late, Neymar has single-handedly done more offensively and defensively than Arda and Gomes combined today

Turan had a big chance to prove himself but Luis Enrique’s decision to give him a starting role backfired.
We need:
Arda and Gomes out
Iniesta and rakitic in— ™ (@MESSIscored) March 12, 2017
Poor Arda 🙁
Petition started for Arda Turan to return to his homeland of Turkey by fans.
