It’s hard to comprehend Barcelona’s incredible 6-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16 at the Camp Nou on Wednesday.
No team has ever produced such a stunning performance to overhaul such a large first-leg deficit.
It was always going to demand something special from Barca and, fortunately for them, they have a number of players capable of producing just that.
But this time it wasn’t Lionel Messi, the man who so often hauls his team to their best football, who inspired the turnaround.
No, it was Neymar who produced his greatest performance in a Barcelona shirt to lead the Spaniards to a famous win.
He was clearly man of the match, as these stats from our friends at WhoScored.com prove.

That Barcelona made it to the quarter-finals is a minor miracle and this was a clear warning to future opponents of what they are capable of.
It might even make them favourites for the Champions League now, what do you think?
