Barcelona Made The Historical Comeback Against PSG In Champions League

However, Neymar notched with two minutes remaining, added another from the penalty spot in stoppage time and then laid on the clinching goal for Sergi Roberto to secure a remarkable 6-5 aggregate victory.

He did better just after the hour, beating Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen with a powerful volley from the edge of the penalty area to score the vital away goal that left the hosts needing three more goals to qualify.

Barca took risks and that resulted in their victory. Barcelona played like a team on a mission and it was their persistence and eagerness to win that got them through despite the odds being heavily stacked against them.

The newspaper noted the contribution of Neymar, Barcelona’s Brazil global who scored a free kick, a 91st-minute penalty and then passed to Sergi Roberto for the dramatic final goal.

“I was brought to my knees”.

PSG coach Unai Emery looks disconsolate after the sixth goal went in.

Barcelona went into their second leg semi-final clash against Chelsea with the confidence of overturning the 1-0 first leg deficit at Stamford Bridge.

Barca manager Luis Enrique’s gesticulated wildly on the touchline while nearly 100,000 fanatical supporters inside the Nou Camp roared their side on, but their hopes seemed lost, even when Brazilian playmaker Neymar drilled home a rocket-fuelled free kick on 88 minutes.

Coach Luis Enrique hailed Barcelona’s record breaking 6-1 win over Paris St Germain as a triumph of collective will but they were indebted to Neymar in a performance the Brazilian called the best of his career.

Barca boss Luis Enrique announced last week that he will leave the club at the end of the season after he was heavily criticised following their 4-0 humiliation in Paris three weeks ago.

“This is a insane, unique sport”.

“It’s a negative experience for me and for the club”.

Even Madrid’s sporting press could not deny the scale of achievement after Barcelona pulled off the biggest comeback in European Cup and Champions League history to break Paris Saint-Germain hearts at the Camp Nou. “This is dedicated to them because this isn’t the Harlem Globetrotters, this is football”, he told reporters following the match. I believe always in Barcelona because they can do this.

“We were forced to pay out a six-figure sum on Barcelona to qualify”, said leading British bookmaker Ladbrokes.
