Champions League returns: Who are the next best after Manchester United beat Roma

Arguably the greatest comeback of all, this one is so iconic that it has its own title in France and Spain: La Remontada (The Return).

PSG were clinical at home, winning 4-0, but the Camp Nou felt something special when Luis Suarez scored after just three minutes in the second leg.

Barcelona were two goals ahead at the break thanks to a Layvin Kurzawa own goal, but still trailed by two goals in total.

Lionel Messi scored a penalty shortly after the restart, but Edinson Cavani hit back to silence the home faithful, although it was not the pendulum swing moment PSG had hoped for.

Barcelona, ​​now trailing 5-3, needed three goals in less than 30 minutes to achieve a miracle. Neymar scored a free kick in the 88th minute to offer further hope, before the Brazilian scored a penalty in the 91st minute to level the tie at 5-5 on aggregate.

But PSG still qualified thanks to away goals.

Then, with 20 seconds of added time remaining, La Remontada came to fruition when Sergi Roberto pushed away Neymar’s chipped pass, making Barcelona the only team in history to overturn a four-goal deficit in the Champions League.
