Barcelona Stage Biggest Comeback In Champions League History; Thrash PSG 6-1

This will definitely go down as the greatest comeback in Champions League history. Barcelona scored three goals in the dying minutes to produce a 6-1 win against Paris Saint-German at the Camp Nou to complete an astonishing 6-5 aggregate success in the last 16.

Neymar hailed the best game of his career after scoring three times in the dying minutes in the match.

The Brazilian scored an 88th-minute free kick and a penalty in the 91st before setting up Sergi Roberto’s clincher in the fifth minute of injury time, sealing it 6-1 as Barcelona overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit. The result, which sparked delirious celebrations at Barcelona’s 99,000-capacity Nou Camp stadium, sent the Spanish giants storming into the quarter-finals at the cost of the stricken Paris club.



“This is the best game I have ever played. For what it meant, for what we experienced and because I am in great form,” Neymar told BeIN Sports. “I know that we have made history. A team like this can do anything.”

The sensational win recalled Manchester United’s injury-time double to win the 1999 title against Bayern Munich in the same stadium, and Liverpool’s victory in the 2005 final after being 3-0 down to AC Milan at half-time.

“It is a difficult night to explain with words,” said Barca boss Luis Enrique, who will leave the club at the end of the season. “It was a horror movie, not a drama, with a Camp Nou that I have seen very few times as a player or coach.

“What defines this victory is the faith that the players and fans had.” But the defeat raised questions over the future of PSG coach Unai Emery, as club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi ominously called it “very hard to accept”.

This Barcelona team has dominated European soccer’s consciousness for the past decade. It has won the Champions League four times — 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2015 — and has been virtually ever-present in the semifinals of the competition for the last seven years.
