A section of dyed-in-the-wool FC Barcelona followers stayed behind to cheer the team, on despite suffering an early Champions League exit.

Barcelona suffered a second successive exit from Europe's premier club competition after an underwhelming campaign, which produced just one win in five outings.

The Catalan giants knew their fate prior to kick-off, following Inter Milan's landslide victory against whipping boys Viktoria Plzen.

However, the five-time European champions could not bow out of the competition in style, with the fully-packed Camp Nou stadium witnessing their side exit the Champions League on an embarrassing note, Euro Sport reports.

Goals from Sadio Mane, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Benjamin Pavard ensured Barca exited the competition with their tails between their legs.

Despite the humiliating nature of their elimination, some followers of the club stayed behind to applaud the efforts of Xavi's charges, as shown in a video posted on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief.

Barcelona crash out of UCL

The Catalans' fate had already been decided before the kick-off at Camp Nou on Wednesday, after Inter Milan thrashed Viktoria Plzen 4-0 to guarantee their progression to the last 16.

Inter's victory meant the Blaugrana crashed out of the Champions League in the first round for a second consecutive season, and meant the Bayern Munich clash was a dead rubber for Barca.

However, Bayern clinched the top spot in Champions League Group C with a 3-0 win over the already eliminated Barcelona, causing the Blaugrana to drop to the Europa League, as reported by Sports Brief.
