Yes, we may be speaking about the best team of all time, but not even Barcelona seems capabe of overcoming a four-goal differential in a UEFA Champions League tie.
Los Blaugranas crashed against PSG 4-0 today, giving Les Parisiens a massive chance to eliminate them for the first time in history. PSG became the sixth team in history to score four goals in a single UCL game against Barcelona, joining Milan, Dynamo Kiyv, Valencia, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
To make matters worse, stats show that a team that has won the first league with a scoreline such as this one has NEVER been eliminated from this competitition.
4 - No side has ever overturned a 4+ goal deficit to progress in the Champions League knockout stages. Massacre.

"But maybe Barcelona can pull this off", some of you might be saying now. Well, it does not get any better for Los Blaugranas, considering the following tweet.
"Barcelona has NEVER returned from a 4-goal deficit in a two-legged tie in an international or domestic competition."
El Barça JAMÁS ha remontado 4+ goles en una eliminatoria a doble partido, ni en competición nacional, ni en competición internacional.

Will Barcelona go down in history as the first club to come back from a 4-goal loss?
