Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman drew positives from their Champions League elimination at PSG.

Barcelona were knocked out of the Champions League after drawing 1-1 away at PSG, following a 4-1 home defeat three weeks earlier.

But Koeman said, "We are eliminated, but we leave feeling good [about ourselves].

"We had chances to make things difficult for the opposition. We played a great first half, we were superior, with a great attitude.

"We deserved more. At least a 1-2 at half time. That would have made all the difference."

Barcelona missed a series of chances, particularly in the first half, so does Koeman think they could have done with having an out-and-out No.9?

"It's true. It's also not normal to create so many chances against a strong team, like today," he explained.

"We took risks, we had to defend one on one. I think the play without the ball today was phenomenal.

"We need to be more clinical. That's the difference between us. With a lot less chances [at the Camp Nou], they scored more goals."
