WHAT. A. NIGHT! Barcelona produced the greatest comeback in the history of the Champions League, and the moment was perfectly captured by the comments from Gerard Pique.
Barcelona were left reeling a few weeks ago following their humiliating defeat to Paris Saint-Germain, with fans and pundits alike giving them no chance.

But in the first few minutes, Luis Suarez opened the scoring to revive their hopes of advancing to the next round.
His effort was followed by a bizarre own goal which gave the Catalans a two-goal lead at half-time.

Lionel Messi then made it 3-nil, coolly converting his penalty minutes after the restart. Though PSG's feared marksman Edison Cavani bagged a crucial away goal, appearing to end their hopes.
Though the brilliance of Neymar from his free-kick, spot-kick to the delightful assist to Roberto secured their passage to the next round pulling off an unlikely victory.

Wild celebrations ensued which was followed by the post-match reactions. And Pique issued a brilliant a statement saying the following;
"They'll need to hire nurses in the hospitals in 9 months time, 'cos a lot of love is going to be made tonight."
In case you needed reminding, Pique is in a relationship with the one and only Shakira!
He also praised his team for the resolve shown; "It appeared a miracle. The miracle of a team that has believed until the end."

Incredible night. Take a bow, Barcelona.
