The home crowd, however, called their teammates back onto the field rather than booing the squad off or displaying their contempt.
Then, as the players watched, fans of the Gol Nord cheered, sang, and proudly waved their flags behind one of the goals.
Numerous spectators lingered long after the final horn in a festive environment.
Losing in the Champions League is a crushing blow for the Spanish powerhouses, who will now play in the Europa League for the second consecutive season.
However, the players still had plenty to fight for this season, so the supporters decided to give them a morale boost.
Real Madrid are the league leaders, but Xavi’s team is only three points behind them and has only suffered one league defeat.
Along with Arsenal and Manchester United, Barca will be one of the biggest teams in the Europa League, so they may think they have a good chance of winning.
They failed to win any awards at the end of the previous season, and Xavi is keen not to repeat that mistake this time around.
The club’s financial health may also depend on its performance in the Europa League, since the early Champions League exit leaves a reported shortfall of almost £18 million.
Even without accounting for the additional loss of ticket sales and TV revenue, that is.
