Barcelona pull off historic Champions League comeback against PSG
Messi penalty and late goals from Neymar and Sergi Roberto seal 6-5 aggregate win
Barça pull off one of the most epic comebacks in the history of the Champions League to get into the quarter-finals scoring three in the last seven minutes to clinch a 6-5 aggregate win over PSG.
Lionel Messi's penalty gave Barcelona a 3-0 lead on the night and a 4-3 aggregate advantage, but Edinson Cavani's goal for PSG made it 3-1 on the night and 4-4 on aggregate.
Neymar's free-kick in the 90th minute gave Barcelona a 4-1 lead on the night and a 5-4 aggregate lead, but Cavani's second goal of the night in the 93rd minute made it 4-2 on the night and 5-5 on aggregate.
Just when it seemed like PSG would be heading through to the quarter-finals, Sergi Roberto popped up with a dramatic winner in the 95th minute to give Barcelona a 6-5 aggregate win.
The win was a remarkable achievement for Barcelona, who had been trailing 4-0 on aggregate after the first leg in Paris.
It was also a night of redemption for Messi, who had missed a penalty in the first leg and had been heavily criticized for his performance in recent weeks.
The win will give Barcelona a huge boost of confidence as they look to win their first Champions League title since 2015.
