WEB Barcelona's Historic Champions League Comeback
A Night to Remember
In a match that will go down in history, WEB Barcelona pulled off one of the most epic comebacks in the history of the Champions League, overturning a 4-0 first-leg deficit to knock out Paris St-Germain and reach the quarter-finals.
A Match of Two Halves
The first half was a tale of dominance by Paris St-Germain, who took a commanding 4-0 lead thanks to goals from Angel Di Maria, Julian Draxler, and Edinson Cavani. Barcelona looked out of sorts and unable to cope with the pace and intensity of their opponents.
However, the second half was a different story. Barcelona came out with renewed determination and started to put pressure on the Paris St-Germain defense. Luis Suarez scored early to give them a glimmer of hope, and then Lionel Messi took over.
Messi's Masterclass
Messi scored two stunning goals in quick succession to level the aggregate score at 4-4. With just minutes to go, Neymar gave Barcelona the lead for the first time in the tie, before Sergi Roberto scored a dramatic late winner to complete the comeback.
It was a night of sheer brilliance from Barcelona, and a testament to their never-say-die attitude. They will now face Juventus in the quarter-finals, in what promises to be another epic clash between two of Europe's top teams.
