Two clubs have a four-goal deficit to overcome this week in the Champions League round of 16: Arsenal and Barcelona. Although no one has their money on an Alexis Sanchez and Co. comeback, opinions are split on the Blaugrana’s chances of progressing.
The Catalan giants face PSG at the Camp Nou in the second leg, having succumbed to an atrocious 4-0 loss in Paris. The Ligue 1 side need only one away goal to put the game beyond Luis Enrique’s side, but with MSN in their starting lineup and the home crowd behind them, a comeback is not impossible
Here are four reasons why Barca can overturn the deficit on Wednesday.
Messi can’t stop scoring since the 4-0 loss
In the first leg, La Pulga was abysmal. He didn’t even manage a single shot on target. Since then, he has been a different man, scoring six goals.
Barca are beasts at home in the Champions League
The Blaugrana have played three home games in the Champions League this season. They have scored 15 and conceded 0, winning 7-0, 4-0, and 4-0.
Their last two home results
Barca 6-1 Sporting Gijon
Barca 5-0 Celta Vigo
Enough said.
Luis Enrique knows how to please the home crowd
We have already mentioned a thing or two about their home advantage, but this statistic is just awesome. Since taking over Barcelona, Lucho has kept a 100 percent record at Camp Nou.
