Memphis Depay (Torres 80’) – 7. Scored after 100 minutes to make it 2-3 to Barca. Then the whistle went for full-time.

BARCELONA PLAYER RATINGS: Marc-Andre Ter Stegen – 5. Stunned to concede two inside the first 36 minutes, the first a penalty, the second one of the goals of the season from Borre which he stretched – but failed – to reach. Fine save on 57 after another counter from his compatriots, but Kostic’s second made it 3-0. Getty

Oscar Mingueza – 4. Kostic’s shot went through his legs for the Germans’ third goal on 68 – and with that Barca’s hopes of staying in the Europa League. Nightmare. But not for Kostic who has scored and assisted in two games this season – away to Barcelona and Bayern. Getty

Eric Garcia – 5. Made the foul which gave away a fourth-minute penalty. Booked for his troubles … before his team went behind to a more intense side who took advantage of Barca’s errors. Barca’s central defenders are an issue. EPA

Ronald Aruajo – 5. Moved up for a corner and had a half volley saved on 18. Couldn’t get close to Eintracht’s stunning second, but raced back to stop a 42nd minute attack. Weaker without Pique next to him. Said he was amazed to see so many away fans inside Camp Nou. EPA

Jordi Alba – 5. Found himself part of a back three as the Catalans had to shift tactics at 0-3 down. He’s been around a while – he’ll never have seen as many away fans as the 20,000 Eintracht support inside Camp Nou in a 79,468 crowd. "The atmosphere didn't help, it's a big error from the club,” said Xavi. “It's not an excuse, we weren't good over the tie, but in the dressing room we want to know how this happened." EPA

Gavi – 6. Huge game for the 17-year-old. Booked after 28 which meant he would have missed the first leg of the semi-final had Barca advanced. Which they were miles from doing. Barca were outdone tactically by Eintracht’s 3-4-3 formation. EPA

Sergio Busquets – 6. An uncomfortable night for Barca’s most experienced player and was nowhere as Kamada spun past him to shoot on 78. Offside when Barca thought they’d scored, but did score Barca’s first goal, a sweet strike in the 91st minute.

Pedri – 5. His poorest game of the season. Substituted at half time with a pain in his leg. Big miss, but his passing was off beam and he was bypassed despite Barca having so much possession. AFP

Ousmane Dembele – 8. Crossed towards Aubameyang on 9 and did the same again on 47 as he was Barca’s most dangerous player. Booked in time added on. Reuters

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – 6. Headed over on nine and missed a better chance after again being set up by Dembele on 46. Barca are looking for centre forwards this summer. Reuters

Ferran Torres – 6. Played on the left of a front three and beat his man in a splendid 21st minute run. Attempted an overhead kick a few minutes later, but it didn’t happen against the ninth best team in Germany. Reuters

SUBS: Frenkie De Jong (Pedri 45’) – 6. Limited impact as the Germans deserved their place in the last four. EPA

Adama Traore (Aubameyang 61’) – 6. A threat on the wing. Reuters

Serginho Dest (Mingueza 61’) – 5. The back four became a back three. AFP

Luuk De Jong (Garcia on 69) – 6. On in a late, desperate attempt to rescue something for his shocked side. AFP
