Barca won 6-1 in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, thereby overturning the 0-4 first leg deficit. Overjoyed after the miracle, coach Luis Enrique slid on the grass on his knees at the Nou Camp to celebrate.

The Barca coach said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "I left some ligaments on the pitch, but it was worth it. I got down on my knees. I want to thank the fans who kept the faith after the 0-4 loss in the first leg. This victory makes everyone happy and I cannot miss such a moment."

Among the fans who celebrated with Barca was former coach Pep Guardiola. The current Man City coach said: "I want to congratulate Barca. They achieved an impressive result tonight."

After defeating PSG, Barca made the greatest comeback in European football history. Before that, no team had ever won a ticket to the next round after being down by four goals in the first leg of the C1 Cup/Champions League.
