How? As PSG would have been favourites to go through.

Barca were backed from 10/1 to 7/1 today to qualify. There was huge money put on them to go through.

Greatest comeback in the history of the sport.

PSG should be ashamed of themselves though. Embarassing to collapse like that.

See, I just can't go along with that line. A comeback from being down in a single game will always beat out something like this one for me. PSG were just never there today, so its hard to consider a 6-1 thrashing as a comeback.

Whereas it all happening in one game means you fell behind, and had to conquer those emotions right then and there, no prep, no plan, you just had to dig within yourself, climb out of the pit of despair, and fight back.

Great comeback of course, but emotionally not a patch on 2005 or 99 or many others imo.

Incredible result. Annoying to have basically the same teams getting through year after year after year. Hard not to find it boring at this stage. Credit to Barca of course, they had to go out there and do it, but it really would have been nice to see some fresh blood in the mix.

Absolutely cataclysmic stuff from PSG. For a 6-5 aggregate scoreline, you'd expect two evenly matched games, where instead both were totally one sided affairs.

When there's games played like that I couldn't give a rats what teams they are. Once the games aren't stale let the same ones in. Probably the best CL game I've ever watched.

some pass by Neymar. Genuinely think he knew EXACTLY where that ball would go.

PSG & Arsenal should be banned from the CL.

NIMAN · 08-03-2017 10:55PM

I think AIG must have had a heart attack.

He was a good sod.

RoryMac · 08-03-2017 10:55PM

As much as I dislike Neymar's diving that ball in for the winning goal was amazing, such composure with the game in the balance

Was it really such a great night. Trapp was poor for 3 goals and 2 were penalties that shouldn't have been given.

They were penalties.

Why can't people just enjoy a fantastic match without all the cynicism.

Barcelona were amazing.

I think his first post back is gonna be more epic than the game itself.

What a comeback. A lot of clueless experts writing this Barca team off too early.

Hi Captain Hindsight...consider the amount of times a 4-0 deficit had been turned around in the past..especially in modern times I'd say those pundits were spot on.

Anyone thinking Barcelona would go through tonight were die hard fans and romantics.

'Busquets showing his age'. He's 28 Liam!

Second one was a complete flop.

First was a stonewaller.

They were given as penalties. But neither should have been.

2nd one was never a penalty, blatant dive by Suarez

Would have been plenty on PSG as well. Bookies will be fine.

But it was just so one-sided... I dunno... i enjoyed it for the drama, but Monaco Man City the other week was head and shoulders better as an actual game, ebbing and flowing throughout.

Bah, sorry, ill stop being such a grump. I don't particularly follow/dislike either team, but really would have liked to have seen PSG go through for a change.

...and his freekick, and his penalty when Messi chickened out of taking it .

GO NEYMAR !

A Dub in Glasgo · 08-03-2017 10:57PM

Went up to have a shower at the 80th minute, it was 3-1 and I did not think Barcelona would get back in. Came down to 5-1 and just watched a thing of beauty for the winner

Burial. · 08-03-2017 10:58PM

Would gladly take 0-0's and sh*tty deflected winners in ET for the rest of the tournament after tonight's game and City/Monaco the other week. Really been treated to all time great games.

Seriously, give some credit to Barcelona, that was an unreal performance.

Yeah it's great for them and their fans.

But for the rest, thats it ... they have won the competition - name is on the cup .... AGAIN ....

Who can beat them ??

It´s like every other season when they win it - it's like its decided from the start and thats it.

Boring.

Other teams shouldn't bother their arse playing ..

There was contact.

Either way, it was a great penalty by Neymar and the game was fantastic.

house45 · 08-03-2017 10:58PM

Wow just wow what a game I'm still in shock ,it really is a crazy crazy game !!!!!! Wenger to PSG ????

What about Di Maria chance at the end, looked a peno to me with Mascherano diving in from behind. Not sure they showed a replay of it (Di Maria should have scored anyway)

The_Kew_Tour · 08-03-2017 10:59PM

This game will be remembered for decades.

Nuts, but just got to applaud Barca.

Lucky? Yes but they took their chances too
