Aguero pen saved as Man City return home defeated

Sergio Aguero missed a penalty as Manchester City exited the Champions League after losing 1-0 against Barcelona at the Nou Camp.

Ivan Rakitic handed Barcelona the lead in the first half to make it 3-1 on aggregate, and the hosts should have had the tie out of reach far earlier, hitting the post twice before half-time.

But City had a chance to halve the aggregate deficit when Aguero was brought down by Gerard Pique with 11 minutes remaining, only to see his spot kick saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Joe Hart made 10 saves to keep the score at 1-0, and the result means the Premier League has no team in the quarter-final of the Champions League for the second time in three years.
