Gerard Pique remained confident that Barcelona could recover from Wednesday’s Champions League defeat in time for Sunday’s La Liga Clasico against Real Madrid.

Since their comeback against Paris Saint-Germain last month, there’s been a huge poster outside Barcelona’s stadium which reads “Welcome to Camp Nou, history happens here.” There was no history made on Wednesday, though, at least not as far as Barca were concerned as they were held to a goal-less draw by Juventus and elimination from the Champions League. Barca coach Luis Enrique had called for “another magical night” but the damage had already been done last week in Turin. But even one goal proved too hard to come by against a Juve side that have now gone 531 minutes without…
Luis Enrique was left frustrated with Barcelona’s wastefulness in front of goal as they came up short in their bid to overturn a three-goal deficit against Juventus, held to a goalless draw and exiting the Champions League at the quarterfinal stage for a second consecutive year. Juve have conceded just two goals in Europe this season but the Barca coach had confidently insisted before the game that his side could score five times at Camp Nou on Wednesday. They created enough chances to score five, too, but their accuracy was lacking. Lionel Messi missed a string of opportunities as just…
