Paris Saint-Germain stunned the whole world as they outclassed FC Barcelona following a 4-0 victory at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final earlier this year.

The Catalans looked absolutely clueless in that game, as their defensive structure was extremely unorganized, whereas they failed to create enough goal-scoring chances to make up for it.

At that moment, it seemed that a comeback was completely ruled out - not just because of the scoreline, but essentially because of the gap in terms of quality between both sides, that was highlighted during the match.

However, one man who believed in the miracle was Neymar. His well-placed free kick in the second half signalled the beginning of the historical Remontada, as he would go on to score a penalty, followed by a spectacular last-gasp assist to set up Sergi Roberto.

The 6-1 victory would mean that Barça had knocked the French giants out against all odds. One man who will never forget this game, nor his outstanding performance, is certainly Neymar JR.
