Twitter goes berserk as Juventus shut out Lionel Messi and co

Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Andrea Barzagli - built a mountain in front of their goal which Barcelona could not climb. The classic Italian defence was on show at the Camp Nou in the second leg of the quarter-final of the UEFA Champions League when Barcelona took on an inspiring Juventus. 

 

Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez did up the ante but it was matched toe-to-toe by the Juventus defence. Believe it or not, Barcelona scored 26 times before the quarter-final in the Champions League but they were shut out by the mighty Gianluigi Buffon. 

 

Barcelona got a number of chances to turn the tables yet again like they did against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 but they could not breach that defensive line. Messi probably could have scored his 9th Champions League hat-trick if he would have converted all those chances he got but that was his story on Wednesday.
