Barcelona have created Champions League history after overturning a 4-0 first-leg deficit to beat Paris Saint-Germain 6-5 on aggregate and book their spot in the quarter-finals of the competition.
PSG entered the second leg of the last-16 tie holding a four-goal advantage from the first leg in Paris, and an away goal from Edinson Cavani in the 62nd minute left Barcelona needing three more goals without reply to advance.
The French champions still boasted a 5-3 lead on aggregate entering the final two minutes of the clash at Camp Nou, but a double from Neymar and a 95th-minute effort from Sergi Roberto created history in the competition and sent Luis Enrique‘s side marching into the final eight in spectacular fashion.
Barcelona boss Enrique opted for an all-out attack in terms of team selection, with the likes of Roberto and Jordi Alba both left on the bench, and Rafinha and Ivan Rakitic given wide midfield positions. Andres Iniesta, meanwhile, also started behind a front three of Luis Suarez, Neymar and Lionel Messi.
