2016-17 UEFA Champions League Round Round of 16 Second Leg FC Barcelona Vs Paris Saint Germain Wednesday March 08,2017

In the first leg PSG beats FC Barcelona 4-0

  • No club has ever overturned a first-leg 4-0 away defeat in a Champions League knockout tie.
  • The only time PSG eliminated Barcelona in the Champions League was in 1994-95 quarter-finals (3-2 on aggregate). Since then, Barcelona have won their two knockout encounters with the Parisian club (2012-13, 2014-15).
  • Barcelona's 4-0 loss in the first leg equalled their heaviest defeat in European competition. Their previous such defeat came in the semi-final first leg against Bayern Munich back in 2012-13 - they lost the return leg 3-0 at home for a 7-0 aggregate defeat.
  • Barcelona have progressed past the round of 16 in each of the last nine seasons, the longest run ever in the competition. The last time they failed to reach the quarter-finals was in 2006-07 against Liverpool.
  • PSG striker Edinson Cavani has scored seven goals in as many games in the Champions League this season - his best tally in the competition.


FC Barcelona Coach Luis Enrique believes Barcelona can "score six" to create Champions League history by overturning a four-goal deficit in their last 16 second-leg tie against Paris St-Germain

He added: "When you are close, our confidence will soar and theirs could start to diminish.
"If they can score four goals against us, we can score six."
The Spanish champions have scored 11 goals in their past two matches and conceded only one goal. They were back to their very best last Saturday as they defeated Celta Vigo 5-0, with Lionel Messi and Neymar scoring two wonderful goals.
"We are aware that it is a difficult situation to turn the tie around, but in football nothing is impossible," said Luis Suarez

FC Barcelona made Champions League history by becoming the first team to overturn a first-leg 4-0 deficit as they knocked out Paris St-Germain to reach the quarter-finals for the 10th successive season.
The Spanish champions were 5-3 down on aggregate in the 88th minute, but scored three goals in the final seven minutes in one of the greatest European ties of all time.
Neymar's free-kick and penalty followed by Sergi Roberto's 95th-minute winner sealed victory on an incredible night at the Nou Camp

Man of the match - Neymar

Neymar was brilliant throughout.
He curled in a free-kick and scored a penalty when Barcelona looked dejected and out.
Then, with time slipping away and the clock on red, he clipped a superb ball into the box for Sergi Roberto to toe into the net and send his team into the QF's
