Paris St-Germain and Barcelona meet in the quarter-finals of the Champions League tonight and the pair have some history in this competition.

Arguably one of the greatest comeback stories unfolded when they met in the second leg of their last-16 tie in 2016-17.

It is so iconic that it has its very own title in France and Spain – La Remontada (the comeback).

PSG were clinical in the first leg at home, winning 4-0, but the Nou Camp sensed something special when Luis Suarez scored after just three minutes in the second leg.

Barcelona were two goals to the good at the break courtesy of a Layvin Kurzawa own goal, but still trailed by two goals on aggregate.

Lionel Messi scored a penalty soon after the restart but Edinson Cavani hit back to silence the home faithful, although it wasn’t the pendulum-swinging moment PSG hoped for.

Barcelona, now trailing 5-3, needed three goals in fewer than 30 minutes to achieve a miracle. Neymar scored a free-kick in the 88th minute to offer further hope, before the Brazilian stroked home a 91st-minute penalty to level the tie at 5-5 on aggregate.

But PSG were still heading through on away goals.

But with 20 seconds of added time remaining, La Remontada came to fruition when Sergi Roberto turned home Neymar’s chipped pass, with Barcelona becoming the only team in history to overturn a four-goal Champions League deficit.

After the two pulsating games we saw last night, could we be set for another classic today?
