Given the fact that the Parisians were already leading on aggregate, as their first leg fixture earned them a demolishing 4-0 against the Spanish giants, many thought that there was no way that Barcelona could come back.

However, the Blaugrana completely shocked the world as they ended up winning with a 6-1 scoreline in the second leg, giving them a 6-5 lead on aggregate, which sent them to the semi-finals of the competition.

An own goal by Layvin Kurzawa, two from Neymar, one from Lionel Messi, an extremely early goal from Luis Suarez, and an extremely dramatic last-minute goal from Sergi Roberto sealed the deal for the Spaniards. The match is often considered as one of the greatest matches in the history of the competition.
