I know I am late a few days but what a come back that was earlier in the week by Barcelona in the 2nd leg of their 16th round encounter against Paris Saint Germain.
Having lost the away game 5-0 in Paris, they needed to win by 6 goals or more to qualify. Almost impossible. But I did tell my friends prior to the game: "listen, the game may as well be cancelled but if there is any team capable of making it close, it is this Barcelona team, since they have the best attacking trio in the history of football in Messi, Neymar and Suarez.
And what does Barca do? They win 6-1, with 3 goals coming in the last minute and extra 4 minute of injury time. Neymar a hand in the last 4 goals, scoring 2, assisting on another.
and getting the penalty that led to one of the goals. A performance for the ages and an epic collapse by PSG.
Is this the greatest come back in soccer? I do know that it easily beats Liverpool's comeback against AC Milan in the 2005 CL final.
