Amazing. Incredible. Un-frikking-believable. A footballing miracle.
Barcelona pulled off the greatest comeback in Champions League history by scoring three times in the dying minutes against a stunned Paris Saint-Germain.
Neymar scored an 88th-minute free kick and a penalty in the 91st before setting up Sergi Roberto's clincher in the fifth minute of injury time, sealing it 6-1 as Barcelona overturned a 4-0 first-leg deficit.
The result, which sparked delirious celebrations at Barcelona's 99,000-capacity Nou Camp stadium, sent the Spanish giants storming into the quarter-finals at the cost of the stricken Paris club.

"This is the best game I have ever played. For what it meant, for what we experienced and because I am in great form," Neymar told BeIN Sports.
"I know that we have made history. A team like this can do anything."
History-makers, indeed. The fans reaction at Camp Nou said it all.

It wasn't for a title, but this win moves Luis Enrique alongside Guardiola & Cruyff as a Barca legend. They'll talk about tonight forever.
