MANCHESTER UNITED suffered their biggest-ever European loss against Barcelona – ending a campaign where Marouane Fellaini scored their only home goal.
The Premier League giants have never lost by more than four goals in a two-legged tie in Europe before their Barcelona crushing.
Lionel Messi scored twice, Philippe Coutinho netted a trademark screamer and David De Gea dropped a horror howler as United slipped to a 3-0 loss at the Nou Camp.
Nearly 20 years on to the day since United were celebrating on the same pitch after clinching the 1999 Treble following a famous comeback against Bayern Munich, their Champions League campaign was over.
Incredibly, despite reaching the quarter-finals, United managed to score just ONE at Old Trafford.
In their five matches at the Theatre Of Dreams, only Fellaini – now at Chinese Super League side Shandong Luneng – found the net.
COLD TRAFFORD
The Belgian, 31, fired home a late winner as United edged past Young Boys 1-0 in the group stage.
Aside from that, United drew blanks against Juventus and Valencia on their own turf, before failing to score in the home knockout ties with Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Co went into the second-leg at the Nou Camp full of hope, looking for another miraculous away comeback.
In the last-16, United somehow managed to batter PSG 3-1 at the Parc des Princes to advance on away goals after a 2-0 defeat in England.

Messi scored a stunning opener, before his tame, right-footed shot somehow slipped through the hands of De Gea to all-but kill-off the tie.
Coutinho then curled in a stunning shot from 25 yards to rub salt into the wound and send United crashing out of Europe's top table.
