Arsenal could not make the impossible possible on Wednesday night as Barcelona's renowned triumvirate all scored to knock the Gunners out of the Champions League at the Nou Camp.
Many did not give Arsene Wenger's men a prayer given Barcelona's 37-game unbeaten run heading into a contest in which the Gunners needed to score three times to go through.
They put up a spirited fight against a home side who, in truth, played the game largely in second-gear and secured a 3-1 win courtesy of goals from Neymar, Lionel Messi and a sublime Luis Suarez volley - taking the trio's combined goal tally to 106 for the season - with Mohamed Elneny getting Arsenal on the scoresheet.
Welbeck hit the bar from an acute angle before he and Iwobi were withdrawn for Walcott and Olivier Giroud - with Sanchez finally working ter Stegen with a well-struck free-kick.
The German stopper also kept out Giroud's follow-up as the visitors pushed for a result on the night but Barcelona were not finished as Messi lifted over Ospina to put the icing on the cake.
