When Paris Beat Barcelona's Dream Team
Reversing a Four-Goal Deficit
In one of the all-time great UEFA Champions League comebacks, FC Barcelona reversed a four-goal deficit in the second leg of their 2016-17 quarterfinal tie against Paris Saint-Germain. Trailing 4-0 from the first leg at the Parc des Princes, Barcelona produced a stunning 6-1 victory at the Nou Camp to progress to the semi-finals.
A Night of Magic
The match was played on March 8, 2017, and Barcelona started the game brightly. They took the lead in the third minute through Luis Suarez, and added a second goal from Lionel Messi in the 32nd minute. However, PSG pulled one back just before half-time through Edinson Cavani, and the tie seemed to be slipping away from Barcelona.
But in the second half, Barcelona produced a remarkable comeback. Neymar scored in the 50th minute, and then Messi added two more goals in the 62nd and 88th minutes. In the dying seconds of the game, Sergi Roberto completed the scoring to give Barcelona a famous 6-1 victory.
More Than a Club
The victory was a testament to Barcelona's famous motto, "More than a club." It showed that even when they are down and out, they never give up. The comeback also showed the strength of Barcelona's team spirit, and their ability to perform at their best when it matters most.
