#2 Surrendering a four-goal lead to Barcelona
Until perhaps this season, PSG were always going to be the underdogs when pitted against Barcelona. So, no one should have begrudged PSG for losing to Barcelona in the race to reach the quarterfinals of the 2016/2017 UEFA Champions League. However, it was in the manner in which PSG lost that disappointed everyone.

In a footballing masterclass, PSG dispatched Barcelona at the Parc des Princes with little fuss. Hence, everyone thought PSG’s advancement to the last eight was a mere formality. But PSG set an unwanted record by becoming the first team in Champions League history to surrender a four-goal, first-leg lead.
In a night many were hoping the underdogs would prevail, PSG had a match to forget. From poor goalkeeping and faltering defence to suspect tactics and inept individual performances, PSG showed they weren’t ready to go head-to-head with the best in Europe. Even that wasn’t the worst thing PSG got wrong in 2017.
