Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League following a 2-0 defeat – 3-2 on aggregate – against Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon.

We took a look at how social media reacted to the performance of Arda Turan.

Turan did not start for Barcelona but he would have almost been certain to be in the starting line-up had he stayed at Atletico Madrid which is something this tweeter brought up.

There were high hopes when Turan did eventually come on.

They were however, short lived as Barca crashed out of the Champions League following a 2-0 defeat.

Turan got trolled after the game as one of the reasons he gave for leaving Atleti was to lift the Champions League – despite reaching the final of the competition back in 2014.

The bearded winger thought he had a better chance at winning European football’s most prestigious title but he ended up being knocked out against the side he left to pursue his dreams.

There were however, still a few fans of Turan left on board by the end of the final whistle.
