(VIDEO). Exactly 7 years ago, Barcelona made the most epic comeback in Champions League history

On this auspicious day, March 8, 2024, marks precisely 7 years since the occurrence of one of the most legendary matches in the entire history of the UEFA Champions League.

On March 8, 2017, Barcelona hosted PSG in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. The fixture in Paris concluded with PSG triumphing 4-0. It appeared utterly insurmountable to recover from such a resounding defeat. However, under the guidance of Luis Enrique, Barcelona achieved the seemingly impossible.

In the 3rd minute, Luis Suárez opened the scoring, while in the 40th minute, Layvin Kurzawa inadvertently redirected the ball into his own net. On the 50th minute, the iconic Lionel Messi netted Barcelona's third goal, intensifying the intrigue.

Nevertheless, during that season, the away goals rule still held sway. Therefore, Edinson Cavani's goal in the 62nd minute seemingly assured PSG's progression to the quarterfinals.

Yet, what awaited us was the most epic denouement in the history of the Champions League Round of 16. In the 88th and 90+1st minutes, Neymar secured a brace, and in the 90+5th minute, after a set-piece delivery, Sergi Roberto established the conclusive scoreline of 6-1.

This match also etched itself into memory due to the highly contentious officiating by the German referee, Deniz Aytekin.
