Is there any hope for Real Madrid and Barcelona? The greatest European comebacks
Show all 11Both Real Madrid and Barcelona need a miracle this week if they are to reach the final of the Champions League.
Yet already this season Lionel Messi and his Barca team-mates have proved the unlikely is possible when they overturned a 2-0 first leg defeat by beating AC Milan 4-0 at the Nou Camp.
They will need to do even better on Wednesday when they must overturn a 4-0 first leg defeat against Bayern Munich.
