5 biggest deficits overturned in the Champions League Round of 16

#2 Monaco v Manchester City (2016-17)

AS Monaco players celebrate after an inspirational performance against Manchester City

Manchester City’s 5-3 victory over Monaco at the Etihad Stadium was one of the standout games of last season – not just in the Champions League but any competition.

From the outset, both teams were thoroughly committed to playing attacking football, and with neither defence looking particularly robust, the results were breathtaking.

While Radamel Falcao’s double showed that he remained as lethal as ever, it proved a breakthrough night for Kylian Mbappe, to that point largely unknown outside of France, though Leonardo Jardim’s young side succumbed to naivety late in the game, which they had led 3-2 with 70 minutes on the clock.

Rather than fold back at Stade Louis II, Monaco stood up to the challenge of Pep Guardiola’s men. Mbappe once again showed that he feared no challenge by putting his side a goal to the good before Fabinho put them ahead in the tie on away goals.

When Leroy Sane replied for City with 19 minutes left, it seemed Monaco’s adventure back among Europe’s elite was ended, yet Tiemoue Bakayoko’s late header secured a quarter-final date with Borussia Dortmund.

The German side were then seen off, again thanks to an inspired display from Mbappe, yet the teenager’s charge was stopped by Gianluigi Buffon and Juventus in the semi-finals.
