Barcelona's Historic Comeback Stuns PSG in Champions League Thriller
Incredible 6-1 Win Seals Dramatic 6-5 Aggregate Victory
Sergi Roberto's 95th-Minute Goal Sends Barcelona to Next Round
In a breathtaking display of determination and attacking prowess, Barcelona completed one of the most remarkable comebacks in Champions League history on Wednesday night, overturning a 4-0 deficit to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 and advance to the quarterfinals with a 6-5 aggregate score.
PSG, who had dominated the first leg in Paris, took the lead once more at Camp Nou through Kylian Mbappe's penalty in the 50th minute. However, Barcelona responded with a flurry of goals, starting with Luis Suarez's equalizer five minutes later.
Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Suarez all found the net in the next 20 minutes, putting Barcelona 4-1 up on the night and 5-5 on aggregate. With time running out, PSG seemed destined to hold on for the away-goals win.
But in a moment of sheer brilliance, substitute Sergi Roberto volleyed home a dramatic winner in the dying seconds of the game, sending the Camp Nou crowd into ecstasy and sending Barcelona through to the next round in sensational fashion.
The victory was Barcelona's first in European competition since winning the Champions League in 2015, and it marked a stunning return to form for a team that has struggled since the departure of Neymar to PSG last summer.
