FC Barcelona v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final: Second Leg
Neymar termed this match as the best that he had ever played in

A miraculous comeback took place in last season's Champions League knockout stages when Barcelona defeated PSG 6-1 in the second leg to overcome a 4-0 first leg deficit. It was in that game where the Parisians took note of Neymar magic and started the process of luring him to France.

Barcelona needed three goals in just over six minutes to claim an unprecedented victory and were looking down the barrel till the 87th minute. But the Brazilian star had some other ideas. He smashed home a free kick from a tight angle before calmly slotting a spot kick in stoppage time. The score was 5-1 and the game then hinged on one last set piece.

Neymar delivered a beautiful cross which was met with perfection by Sergi Roberto who diverted the ball into the net. The game ended in Barcelona's favour and the hero of the match was Neymar who struck a knockout blow to the Parisians.

Guess it was a sort of revenge to sign the man from Barcelona who had broken millions of Parisians' hearts last March.
