Holders Barcelona are out of the Champions League after Antoine Griezmann's brace sent Atletico Madrid through to semi-finals with a 2-0 quarter-final second-leg victory.
After returning from the Nou Camp with a 2-1 first-leg deficit last week, Griezmann headed home in the 36th minute and then struck a late penalty to give Diego Simone's men a famous 3-2 aggregate win, sending them to the last four of the Champions League for just the second time.
Barcelona, who have now lost three of their last four games in all competitions as their season looks in danger of imploding, piled the pressure on in the final 20 minutes, but were unable to make the breakthrough which would have sent the game to extra time, meaning they bow out of this competition in the last eight to Atletico for the second time in three seasons.
