Brilliant Barcelona pulled off the comeback of the century to overturn a four goal deficit and reach the Champions League last eight, with three goals in the final seven minutes!
Barcelona 6-1 (6-5 on agg.) Paris Saint-Germain
Barca needed a goal rush to recover from 4-0 down and boy did it come. By 50 minutes they had three and the Camp Nou believed as one that their heroes were going through. Betting odds had swung the way of the home side for the first time; and as mobile betting fans reacted world wide they swung right back and off the scale on 62 minutes when PSG’s Edinson Cavani scored what he, and we all, believed was the deciding goal.
But it wasn’t.
Barca had made the perfect start when Luis Suarez headed the opener and they were half way there at the break when PSG’s Layvin Kurzawa put through his own net. Five minutes after half time the Camp Nou erupted as Neymar drew a foul and Lionel Messi converted the penalty. But when Cavani fired home on 62 the stadium audibly deflated.
But nobody really knew what was to come.
Neymar curled home a beauty of a free-kick on 88 minutes, seemingly for a consolation, and then when he scored the fifth from the spot two minutes later the impossible dream was back on again.
And the incredible night was complete when up stepped Sergi Roberto to volley home on 95 minutes to spark wild celebrations.
Borussia Dortmund 4-0 (4-1 on agg.) Benfica
It was an altogether calmer night in Germany as Borussia Dortmund hit Benfica for four to qualify comfortably. In an edgy first half Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headed home as early as four minutes but Benfica grew into the game with the scores tied.
The home team took a stranglehold when Christian Pulisic scored brilliantly on the hour and Aubameyang bagged a second two minutes later. Dortmund were in full flow and put together a wonderful move for Aubameyang to complete his hat-trick on 85 minutes.
Well done Dortmund… but catch the Barca game if you can!
