Barcelona just staged one of the craziest comebacks you will ever see, or, at least read about right this moment. After the first leg of their matchup with Paris Saint-Germain, Barca found themselves in a four goal aggregate deficit and they needed every last minute to do it. The Spanish club started off like gangbusters, with Luis Suarez scoring in the second minute, and they finished in a manic flurry.phillipbupp: Sergi Roberto with the winning goal for Barcelona.

About three minutes later, Neymar scored again on a penalty that was awarded to Suarez on a what was surely a dive. (Hey, you can't have this kind of comeback without a little controversy, right?) The counter to those crying foul, of course, is the sentence I wrote all the way up there: As long as Barca did not score three goals in the final minutes plus stoppage time, PSG were advancing.WELP.The Neymar penalty gave Barca a 5-1 lead and drew them level on aggregate, 5-5, with the away goal tiebreaker giving the lead to PSG. Neymar was not done, however. In the 95th minute, he floated a ball into the penalty area for Sergi Roberto, and he hit a sliding volley that made it 6-1 and, finally, put Barca ahead on aggregate.As is customary with most soccer coverage, several outlets, including the Telegraph, had liveblog commentary of the action.
