Barcelona’s impossible Champions League comeback began with a 4-0 deficit and ended with a night no football fan could forget. After PSG’s first-leg lead and plenty of doubt, Barcelona returned home knowing they needed something historic just to stay alive in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

The second leg at Camp Nou quickly turned into a dramatic football story. Barcelona struck early, kept pushing before halftime, then added another after the break.

00:00They didn't score a single goal and they lost the game 4-0.
00:03It's not Barcelona's night.
00:05It was an embarrassing performance.
00:06And it became even stranger when their coach spoke at the post-game press conference
00:11with an absurd amount of confidence in his failing team.
00:14If a rival is capable of scoring four goals against us,
00:16then we're capable of scoring six against them.
00:18Many people laughed at his apparent disconnection from reality.
00:22See, in the UEFA knockout stage, each team plays against each other twice,
00:26one match at each home stadium.
00:27And the total score across the two matches determines which team advances to the next round.
00:33No team had ever overturned a 4-0 first match deficit in the history of the UEFA Champions League.
00:39It just wasn't something that happened.
00:41So when Barcelona and PSG returned to Camp Nou, Barcelona's home ground,
00:45the crowd was hopeful but prepared for what was likely to be the end of Barcelona's chances
00:50to progress to the quarterfinals.
00:52Well, if Paris Saint-Germain don't go through to the quarterfinals tonight,
00:55this is a match we'll be talking about for quite some time.
00:59It would take an historic Champions League comeback to deny Paris Saint-Germain.
01:04However, two minutes into the second match,
01:06it was clear that Barcelona weren't about to go down without a fight.
01:10They had quickly scored the first goal of the game,
01:12and the home crowd boomed with support.
01:14But after that first goal, it was hard to get anything else to pay off.
01:18Until, right before half-time, they got another.
01:21Oh, goal!
01:23And then, as they entered the second half of the match, they scored a third.
01:26And it's a cracker of a penalty!
01:29Barcelona were only one goal away from potentially ending the game in an aggregate tie,
01:35which would force extra time,
01:36allowing them another 30 minutes to make a fifth goal happen and secure victory.
01:40But PSG weren't going to let that happen.
01:43It's the long ball forward, fourth to the spot.
01:46Oh, it's a goal!
01:48This wasn't just any goal.
01:50It was an away goal.
01:51And in UEFA's rules, if the aggregate score ends in a tie,
01:54the team with more away goals advances to the next round.
01:57So now, extra time was no longer an option.
02:00Barcelona weren't just chasing one goal anymore.
02:03They now needed three goals in 20 minutes.
02:05That certainly wasn't unheard of, but it was going to be a challenge.
02:08However, as the game came down to its final minutes...
02:11What a goal!
02:12What a goal by Neymar!
02:13Neymar continued desperately fighting against the odds.
02:17It's a penalty!
02:19He scored!
02:20Two quick goals for Neymar!
02:22The aggregate score was now 5-0,
02:24and there were only a few minutes left in the game.
02:26If Barcelona was going to move on to the quarterfinals,
02:29they were going to have to make something happen right now.
02:32The ball came back out to Neymar,
02:34he lined up the shot,
02:35and he chipped it.
02:38Softly.
02:38Over the defence,
02:39towards the goalkeeper.
02:42For Sergei Roberto to score the final goal.
02:48The home crowd cried tears of happiness,
02:51and Barcelona made it through to the quarterfinals.
02:54I love you.
02:57Love you from your
02:59Life issues.
02:59Hear you.
