Barcelona Just Pulled Off A Mind-Boggling UCL Comeback & Shit Is Being Lost
Suarez got the scoring going in the third minute, before a Layvin Kurzawa own goal meant Barcelona went into halftime thinking two more in the second half and the tie is level.
“This Barcelona 6-1 victory is one game that I will tell my grand kids about if God permits”, former Ajax, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund star Oliseh tweeted.
“I do not think any of us stopped believing”. Sergi Roberto’s dramatic late goal sent the Nou Camp fans wild and made their team the first to overturn a 4-0 first-leg defeat since the Champions League format started in the 1992-93 season.
That looked as though it would send PSG through until a dramatic late comeback in the final minutes that saw Neymar score twice and then Sergi Roberto snatch victory with nearly the last kick.
Enrique – one of the few men who can claim to have played for both La Liga giants Barca and Real Madrid – never won the Champions League as a player although he did win the old Cup Winners’ Cup with the Catalan side in 1996/97.
“I would like to thank everyone who kept their faith after we lost 4-0”.
Backed by a 16-game unbeaten streak, PSG head to the Camp Nou confident they will be able to withstand Barca’s pressure. The refereeing decisions went against us and we lost everything in the closing minutes.
And in following up a 6-1 thrashing of Sporting Gijon with the dismantling of Celta at the weekend, Barca had the air of a team with a weight removed.
And because the team began the day behind 4-0, thanks to a dismal away performance in the first leg of the matchup, the celebration after Sergi Roberto sent the winning goal into the net rivaled that of any National Basketball Association championship, World Series or Super Bowl.
Benfica, of course, have strong European pedigree from the 1960s, and they did reach the quarter finals of the Champions League last season.
Their devastating 4-0 defeat in Paris three weeks ago reverberated across Europe as Edinson Cavani, Angel di Maria and company ran riot. However, PSG would win the tiebreaker since they scored an away goal at Barca’s field.
Barcelona still needed three goals and they had less than ten minutes.
“In 95 minutes, an infinite amount of things can happen”.
But what really makes Barcelona’s comeback so impressive was the fact that they had to do it twice.
