The day the impossible happened

It's been over 4 years since Barcelona made an incredible comeback from being 4-0 down in Paris to 6-5 up in the aggregate at Camp Nou. A monumental achievement for Barcelona that has been remembered over the last few years.

After topping their group with ease (6 points clear off of Manchester City), they got PSG (close second behind Arsenal). They knew they wouldn't have an easy route, but they would try their best.

In the first leg, Barcelona was completely dominated as PSG won 4-0 with goals from Cavani, Di María, and Draxler. Messi got 2 dribbles, 3 ground duels won, 1 foul received, 1 cross, 1 long ball, 28 passes, and 51 touches, being probably Barcelona's best player.

After that big loss, some people still had hopes for Barça to comeback the game, although the chances seemed grim

The day came, March 8th, 2017, to play the second leg of the tie. Early on, Suárez scored a header to give Barcelona the lead. Messi intervened as he pressed Verratti and since he couldn't control the ball Suárez ended up heading it in the rebound. There was still a long way to go to comeback the game. After some inactivity, Kurzawa scored an own goal near the end of the first half to give Barcelona hopes. In the second half, Neymar won a penalty and Messi converted from the spot. There was definitely hope left for Barcelona, but Cavani's goal which came 12 minutes later complicated the matters a lot. Due to the away goal rule, Barça now needed 3 more goals to qualify.

There wasn't much action until 26 minutes later when Neymar won a foul near the box (which came from a free-kick from Messi). Neymar took care of the free-kick and converted with a powerful shot to the near post. Then shortly after, Messi made an amazing pass from near the half-way line which ended up in a penalty won by Suárez. Neymar once again took care of the shot and converted. Barcelona was now one goal away from qualifying.

In the dying minutes of the game, Neymar crossed the ball to the middle of the box, and the one that found it was Sergi Roberto. 93:39 was the clock as Sergi made the shot, and it went through the net, giving Barcelona the ticket to the next round when few people believed in their odds. The whole team celebrated while Messi went directly to the crowds, leaving an iconic image.

Having 4 years passed from that historic event, hopefully Barça can do the same thing today and comeback a tie many see lost.
