The astounded reaction to Barcelona’s remarkable comeback against PSG

Paul Moore

Mes que un club.

Catch your breath yet?

Nope, us neither. Against all odds, predictions and rational thought, Barcelona have somehow managed to perform one of – if not THE – greatest comeback in the history of the Champions League after they beat PSG 6-1 at the Nou Camp.

After the 4-0 drubbing in Paris, few would have given Barca any chance of progressing into the next stages however an early strike from Luis Suarez got the ball rolling.

An own goal from Kurzawa saw Luis Enrique’s side double their lead before the break and the comeback gathered momentum when Messi converted from the spot.

Cavani’s goal just after the hour mark seemed like it had finished the tie, but a Neymar inspired Barca struck back as the brilliant Brazilian scored a brace before Sergi Roberto completed a historic  win at the Nou Camp.

Football fans will definitely remember Liverpool’s comeback against AC Milan in Istanbul, they might even recall Deportivo La Coruna stunning AC Milan, but this match definitely rivals them for drama.

Here’s a recap.

We all wondered
