Barça stage historic comeback to reach Champions League quarter-finals
Barcelona made history at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night, beating Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 on the night (6-5 on aggregate) and becoming the first team in Champions League history to overturn a 4-0 first-leg deficit to advance to the quarter-finals.

The home side had halved the deficit by half time thanks to Luis Suárez's third-minute header and an own goal from Layvin Kurzawa.

Shortly after the break, Lionel Messi made it 4-3 on aggregate with a penalty, only to see PSG pull away again with Edinson Cavani's vital away goal in the 62nd minute.

With three goals to score and less than half an hour left on the clock, Barça went after the seemingly impossible prize in dogged fashion and Neymar brought them level with a sumptuous free kick in the 88th minute, following it up wih a penalty one minute into stoppage time.

With just seconds left before the final whistle, substitute Sergi Roberto (pictured) grabbed a dramatic winner, his first goal of the season, to put Barcelona through to the quarter-finals.

On Tuesday night, Real Madrid beat Napoli 3-1 (6-2 on aggregate) to seal their quarter-final berth.

Next week will see Atlético Madrid take a 4-2 aggregate advantage into their second-leg match against Bayer Leverkusen, whilst Sevilla will hope to capitalise on their 2-1 advantage over Leicester City.
