Barcelona Miracle
Posted Saturday, April 01, 2017 by 7M Sport
Barcelona suffered a shock heavy defeat in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
Barcelona visited PSG which have a great atmosphere in the "Parc des Princes".
At the 18th minute, Di Maria curled in the free kick to open the scoring.
From then on, PSG just kicked into shape. They scored the second goal before the half time.
And at the 56th minute, an outstanding team goal from PSG helped them score the third goal.
Finally, a goal from Cavani helped PSG upset Barcelona 4-0.
What a performance from PSG!
In 2015, Barcelona completed a comfortable 5-1 aggregate win over PSG, following their 2-0 win at Camp Nou.
PSG, however, are totally different from 2 years ago.
They have a new head coach, whose eagerness for the UCL is impressive.
This heavy defeat seems to ruin Barca's hope of the last eight as they need nothing short of a miracle to turn this one around in the second leg.
Barcelona did play badly that night.
Fortunately, they still had a chance to turn it around in three weeks time.
They tried to put what happened in Paris to the back of their mind, and refocus on the league.
They claimed a 2-1 win over Leganes before they overcame Atletico de Madrid with the same score in one week time.
Two wins following that heavy defeat are somehow morale booster for them.
They hold the belief that they have quality and characteristic to make a miracle.
And they finally made it.
What's worth mentioning is that no side in Champions League history has ever come back from a 4-0 first leg deficit.
