Barcelona Just Pulled Off One Of The More Unbelievable Comebacks Of All Time

​Two weeks ago, Paris Saint-Germain put Barcelona to the sword in the first match of their two match Champions League round, winning 4-0 in Paris. Barcelona was savaged in the aftermath — grim takes were written, manager Luis Enrique announced he would be stepping down at the end of the season — and their chances of advancing were basically nil.

It looked like the nail in Barcelona's coffin. Cavani's goal meant Barcelona would have to score three more goals to win — if the aggregate score had ended 5-5, PSG would advance because they had scored a goal away from home, while Barcelona hadn't scored in Paris. That's just the way the Champions League rules work.
