Barcelona 6-1 PSG: The Greatest Champions League Comeback Ever
A Night that Will Live in History
On March 8, 2017, FC Barcelona pulled off one of the most epic comebacks in the history of the UEFA Champions League. After losing 4-0 in the first leg of their round of 16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona needed to score at least three goals at home in the second leg just to take the game to extra time. But even the most optimistic Barcelona fans would have struggled to believe that their team would go on to win 6-1, with Sergi Roberto scoring the winning goal in the 95th minute.
The Match
The match was a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish. Barcelona started brightly and took the lead through Luis Suarez in the third minute. However, PSG hit back with three goals in quick succession from Edinson Cavani, Julian Draxler, and Angel Di Maria. Barcelona pulled a goal back through Lionel Messi in the 50th minute, but PSG restored their three-goal advantage through Cavani in the 62nd minute.
With the game seemingly lost, Barcelona never gave up. They continued to press forward and were rewarded with two goals from Neymar in the 88th and 91st minutes. With the score at 5-4, Barcelona were still one goal away from taking the game to extra time. And in the 95th minute, Sergi Roberto popped up to score the most dramatic goal of the night, sending the Camp Nou into raptures.
Barcelona's Comeback
Barcelona's comeback was one of the most remarkable in the history of the Champions League. It was the first time that a team had ever overturned a 4-0 deficit in the second leg of a knockout tie. It was also the first time that a team had ever scored six goals in a Champions League knockout match.
Barcelona's comeback was a testament to the team's spirit and never-say-die attitude. Even when they were down by three goals with just minutes remaining, they never gave up. They kept fighting and ultimately pulled off one of the most incredible comebacks in the history of the sport.
