Fan Swims In Dirty Gutter To Celebrate Barcelona’s Historic Win Against PSG

Luis Enrique’s side scored three times in the final seven minutes on Wednesday to advance past PSG 6-5 on aggregate, having overcome a 4-0 first-leg deficit.

Neymar lifts teammate Lionel Messi for a well-deserved soccer hug after their upset victory.

The Catalans became the first side to come back from a 4-0 first leg deficit as Neymar scored twice in the final two minutes and then teed up a 95th-minute victor by Sergi Roberto to reach the quarter-finals 6-5 on aggregate.

“I” was brought to my knees”, said Enrique. The team was pressing high and was looking desperate for the goals.

“We risked everything and it paid off”.

But now things have got even more serious, after Paris-based newspaper Le Parisien claim the referee allegedly said “f*** you” on a number of occasions to the PSG players.

“A feat like this does everyone good and Im delighted to enjoy a moment like this”. The key was our efficiency.

One fan, who was watching at home, admitted he’d switched the television off after Edinson Cavani’s goal made it 3-1 in favour of getting in some extra sleep ahead of an early start in the morning.

“I can not believe it”. Real Madrid are a point behind the leaders with a game in hand.

“People spoke about how hard it would be for someone to come here and get us to win after everything that’s happened before. We never stopped believing – it was virtually impossible but it happened”.

Al-Khelaifi also refused to criticise captain Thiago Silva’s leadership after such a collapse, calling the result “a collective failure” and adding: “We are suffering after this elimination like all the supporters”.

With just seconds on the clock and Neymar with the ball in midfield, what led to PSG players trying to set Barcelona players offside? I don’t want to be defending against them but I think we showed in the first leg that we have the quality to stop them. But after Wednesday’s triumph he alluded to the negative press he received after the first leg.

“In the first half we were affected by the atmosphere”.

“Everyone could see it was a penalty on Angel [Di Maria] and that would have taken us back to 3-2 and killed the suspense”. It was all or nothing for them. I’ve worked so long to do something incredible like this for my club.

But to put it all in proper context, we need to rewind just a bit.

Despite Neymar, Suarez and Messi’s heroics, it was Roberto who proved to be Barca’s unlikely hero as he choose the ideal time to score his first goal of the season. They kept regular left-back Jordi Alba on the bench to be more adventurous and that paid off.

PSG: Trapp, Meunier (Krychowiak, 90 mins), Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Kurzawa, Lucas Moura (Di Maria, 55 mins), Rabiot, Matuidi, Draxler (Aurier, 75 mins), Verratti, Cavani.
