"Whenever there's 1% chance, I'll have 99% hope," Neymar said when asked about the possibility of a comeback against PSG.
Well, the Brazilian ace proved he was made for the big nights as he led Barcelona to a shocking and historical 6-1 win over Les Parisiens, in what will go down in history as the biggest comeback in the history of European football.
The Brazilian scored a brace in just three minutes, including a penalty kick he asked to take instead of Lionel Messi. To make his legend greater, he handed out the assist for Sergi Roberto's goal, which gave Los Blaugranas their spot in the next round of the UEFA Champions League.
Here are the player's stats during the second leg against PSG.

Fans and experts didn't waste any time to praise the Brazilian, as he became Barcelona's key player to achieve the unthinkable.
Legends of Barcelona. Even Lionel Messi had to step back at times. Neymar stepped up. Sergio Roberto took the crown!

Neymar showing his world-class ability once again. Easily the best player on the pitch. Two goals and two assists - unreal.

This has to go down in history as the Neymar Tie. He was the man who believed and fought for every second of both games.
