One of The greatest comeback in the history of soccer occurred at the Camp Nou in Barcelona yesterday, on March 8, 2017.
Paris
Saint-Germain was supposed to have ended Barcelona’s dynasty three
weeks ago in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16
matchup. Because it so comprehensively dismantled the Catalan
juggernauts at home in a 4-0 win that it was globally assumed that the
tie was over.
PSG, after all, is a very strong team. And surely not even
Barca and its best-ever attacking trident could get the five goals it
would need – without surrendering one.
It had never been done before. Nobody had overcome such a large first-leg defeat. Or even come close.
Indeed, Barcelona wouldn’t get five goals without surrendering one. It gave up a goal. But then it just went and scored six of its own to advance to the quarterfinals 6-5 on aggregate with three goals after the 88th minute. A Neymar free kick, a 90th-minute Neymar penalty and a
95th-minute Sergi Roberto winner – his first goal in a year and a half – with a diving dink from a Neymar pass.
