What FC Barcelona did tonight was remarkable. Of course, I am a huge fan and have to point it out. Round of 16 in Champions League. They had lost their away match against French power Paris Saint-Germain 4-0. At Barcelona tonight they had to win by five goals to go through to the next round. No team has ever come back from such a deficit in Champions League play.
Barcelona went 3-0 up in the return leg at the Nou Camp - but a second-half goal for PSG appeared to end their hopes of progressing to the last eight. But they scored three goals in the last seven minutes, including two in injury time - prompting jubilant scenes from the home bench and fans - as they sealed a 6-1 win on the night, giving them a 6-5 aggregate win.
This has to be one of THE most remarkable comebacks in the history of soccerl. No one has ever been 4-0 down to go through. And they needed three goals left after 88 minutes played! Amazing.
