When Paris Beat Barcelona's Dream Team
The Incredible Comeback
March 8, 2017
In one of the most thrilling matches in Champions League history, Paris Saint-Germain overcame a 4-0 first-leg deficit to beat Barcelona 6-1 in the second leg. The match was played at the Parc des Princes in Paris, and PSG became the first team in European history to overturn a four-goal deficit in the Champions League knockout stages.
Barcelona took an early lead through Luis Suarez, but PSG hit back with a goal from Layvin Kurzawa just before half-time. In the second half, PSG scored four more goals through Edinson Cavani (2), Angel Di Maria, and Julian Draxler. Barcelona's Lionel Messi scored a consolation goal in the dying minutes, but it was not enough to prevent PSG from progressing to the quarter-finals.
The match was a stunning triumph for PSG, who had been written off by many after the first leg. It was also a major disappointment for Barcelona, who had been hoping to win the Champions League for the first time since 2015.
The match will be remembered as one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history. It is a testament to the never-say-die attitude of PSG and the skill and determination of their players.
