Barcelona pulled off the most incredible comeback in Champions League history with three goals in the final seven minutes to send PSG packing on a night of high drama.

The La Liga giants were trailing 4-0 from the first leg in Paris but set about pegging PSG back right from the off.

No side had ever come back from four goals down in the history of the European Cup – but that was the task facing the Spanish giants after a surprise trouncing at the home of Paris Saint-Germain two weeks ago.

Barcelona went 3-0 up in the return leg at the Nou Camp – but a second-half goal for PSG appeared to end their homes of progressing to the last eight.

But they scored three goals in the last seven minutes, including two in injury time – prompting jubilant scenes from the home bench and fans.

The previous best comeback in the Champions League was from a 4-1 first leg deficit in 2003-04 – Deportivo La Coruna prevailing 5-4 against AC Milan.
