Miracle at the Nou Camp as Barca complete greatest ever European comeback...“Football, Bloody Hell,” as someone who also enjoyed a very famous night in this evocative stadium once said. This game never fails. Never fails to cut through the hype, the money, the cynicism, the commercialism, to become a sport again. It is why we play it, watch it, talk about it, and why we write about it.

This was a game that will resonate; a match that goes down in history. It was the first time ever in the Champions League that a team had overcome a four-goal deficit. But it was more than that. It was so, so much more than that as the disbelieving looks on the players, the staff, coaches, fans of Barcelona showed. This club, these players, have done everything. But they have never done this.

Barcelona had got off to the perfect start when Luis Suarez nodded them ahead and were 2-0 up at the break thanks to a Layvin Kurzawa own goal.Lionel Messi’s penalty made it 3-0 on 50 minutes after Neymar had been fouled. It left Barca needing one more goal to force extra time, but Edinson Cavani’s volley appeared to take the game beyond Barca.

Barca weren't finished as a couple from Neymar, a blistering free-kick on 88 minutes and a penalty moments later - after Suarez had appeared to dive to earn the spot-kick - set up the grandstand finish.

Roberto was the hero as he clipped a volley into the net from Neymar's delivery after PSG's offside trap failed to work with visiting goalkeeper Kevin Trapp left helpless as the ball hit the back of the net to send the home fans into raptures.

While there was disbelief among the PSG players and fans, some Barca fans were left in tears after an astonishing night that had to be seen to be believed.

Edinson Cavani looked to have wrecked Barcelona’s dreams by volleying in an away goal to make the score 3-1 but two late strikes from Neymar set up a thrilling finale before Roberto sealed the Spanish side’s unlikely triumph.

“This is a crazy, unique sport. Children and adults here tonight will never forget what happened,” Barca coach Luis Enrique told reporters.!

MAN OF THE MATCH

Neymar (Barcelona): Two goals in the dying minutes from the Brazilian set up the dramatic finish. It hasn’t gone all his way this season, but Neymar popped up when it mattered most – and his final ball for Sergi Roberto’s winner was exquisite.

Big matches need big performances – Neymar answered the call and somehow his side live to fight another day and another round.

One of the best matches I've seen my whole life

The game was epic :) caused goosebumps, but the controversal decisions made by the referee damaged the experience :/
