FC Barcelona went down against German giants Bayern Munich for the 2nd time in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. However, even before the game, they were eliminated from the competition due to Inter Milan’s 4-0 win over Viktoria Plzen. The Catalan giants failed to score a goal at their home against Bayern and will now prepare for the Europa League. However, soccer is now a global sport and many NBA stars have been following the games closely. Former Los Angeles Lakers star Josh Hart shared his reaction to the Barca-Bayern game on his Twitter.

Josh Hart currently plies his trade for the Portland Trail Blazers. He started his team’s game against the Miami Heat. However, the 27-year-old was drafted by Utah Jazz and subsequently traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2017. Hart spent two seasons in LA and was later traded to the New Orleans Pelicans for Anthony Davis.

Following are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

It wasn’t an easy day for Barcelona fans as their team was already out of the Champions League, even before facing the German champions. However, they still have one more group-stage game remaining. However, the final game against Viktoria Plzen is a meaningless one, as they still won’t be advancing to the knockout stage of the UCL.

FC Barcelona to play Europa League for a second consecutive time

The Catalan giants will be playing in UEFA’s 2nd-tier competition, the Europa League, for a 2nd time in two years. This comes as a shock to many, as they bought many top players in the summer window to boost their chances of winning a trophy.

The Blaugranas never played in the Europa League with Lionel Messi on their side. However, their financial situation led to their greatest player leaving the team in 2021. They played in the Europa League in 2003-04, when Messi was still with their youth side. Ever since his debut in 2004, he managed to keep the team in the top-tier European competition.
