astonishing 6-1 win at Camp
Nou to knock out Paris Saint-
Germain and keep their
Champions League hopes alive
COMMENT
"If Paris Saint-Germain scored
four, we can score six." That is
what Luis Enrique said in the
pre-match press conference
ahead of this match and his
team did exactly that to
produce perhaps the greatest
comeback in football history.
Barca make history with 6-1
win
The Barcelona boss was
written off and called every
name under the sun after the
Catalans' capitulation in the
first leg at the Parc des Princes.
Since that 4-0 loss, he has
announced that he will not
continue in the summer and in
many ways, the pressure was
off.
Could Barca really do it? The
Blaugrana beat Sporting Gijon
6-1 last Wednesday and then
thrashed Celta Vigo 5-0 at the
weekend. Paris Saint-Germain
would be a different test, but
belief was building. "Yes we
can," the supporters sang on
Saturday.
And yes they did. Luis Suarez
scored inside three minutes to
give Barca a dream start and an
own goal from Layvin Kurzawa
before half-time made it 2-0 at
the break. The comeback was
on. And when Lionel Messi
added another from the
penalty spot four minutes after
the interval, it looked like Barca
would go on to achieve a
historic turnaround.
