Barcelona pulled the greatest comeback in UEFA Champions history after defeating Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 in the second leg round 16 of the UEFA Champions League at the Nou Camp on Wednesday night.
A brace from Neymar, a goal each from Lionel Messi (penalty), Luis Suarez, Sergio Roberto and an own goal by Layvin Kurzawa complete the greatest comeback in European club football and a place in the quarter-finals.
