Barcelona vs PSG as it happened: Luis Enrique's men defy history to reach Champions League quarter-finals

Re-live all the action from the Nou Camp

Barcelona suffered an emphatic 4-0 defeat in Paris two weeks ago but outgoing coach Luis Enrique is confident his side can “score six” to advance in what would be the most remarkable second-leg comeback in the history of the competition.

No team has ever overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit and Paris Saint-Germain won’t give up their advantage easily at the Camp Nou.

Barca have been off the pace this season, leading to Enrique to confirm he would leave at the end of the season, but they were back to their best on the weekend, scoring five goals against Celta Vigo – the amount that is required on Wednesday night.

So what about that goal?

Well, in what was essentially the last attack of the game, with Barcelona camped out inside PSG's penalty area, it was that man Neymar who floated in a delicious ball in behind the visitors' backline. The Ligue 1 side were slow to react, as was Kevin Trapp, and it was Sergi Roberto who got their first, sticking out a well-timed leg to guide the ball past the PSG 'keeper and into the back of the net. The stadium erupted into a cacophony of noise and colour, hardly unable to believe what they were seeing.

Luis Enrique to stay another season after all? 

[8 March 2017 22:02 · Samuel Lovett]

Steven Gerrard, speaking on BT, hit the nail on the end in saying that Barcelona suffocated their French opponents. It wasn't exactly champagne football but Luis Enrique's men were relentless in their pressing, unafraid to chase down every ball, contest every challenge and give their all. The tackles were dirty and gritty but they showcased a desire and spirit that had been missing from the first-leg in Paris. Tonight goes to show that the darker side of the game isn't below a side famed for their smooth and polished style of football. Barcelona rolled up their sleeves this evening and got the job done.

A small mention must go to Neymar. All the pre-match build-up had focused on Messi and what the Argentine wizard would bring to the game but, on the big occasion, it was his South American counterpart who stepped up to the plate and delivered. His energy was infectious and his composure on the ball gave little indication that that this was an all-or-nothing showdown in the last-16 of the Champions League. His stunning free-kick was what kick-started Barcelona's late, late fightback before his penalty kick three minutes later put the home side in reaching distance of the impossible. And then, in a moment of sheer class, he floated in an exquisite delivery to set Sergi Roberto up for the winner. An inspired evening from the Brazilian.
