Messi, Neymar and Suarez stepped up on the scoring front and Sergio Roberto was the hero in the 95th minute to edge out PSG and advance, but it begs the question: was PSG the biggest choke in sports history?

Why I think PSG choke was the worst is because:
- They didn't need to win the game, they could have tied on the game or on the aggregate and gone through.
- This Barcelona has been arguably the worst Barcelona in the last decade and certainly the worst one under Enrique.
- Messi and Suarez were arguable the worst players for Barcelona in that game.
- They conceded 3 goals in 7 minutes, while played 10 men defence, ONLY strung 4 passes in the last 10 minutes of that game.
- They blew a 4 goal lead w/ an away goal IN REGULATION TIME! <- Makes it even worse.
- PSG had a full squad at their disposal, no significant injuries
- Barcelona had never played that formation EVER under Luis Enrique
- In European Football there has been ties with 3+ goal difference over 180+ times and not once has ever been overturned, PSG blew a 4+ goal difference.
- Ter Stegen had more passes than any player on PSG
- Cavani and Di Maria choked their 1 on 1.

This is by far the worst.

everyone is complaining about the Suarez penalty

and really, as a barca fan, it was a dive all in all but i think Gerrad said it perfectly
The defender gave the ref a choice and with Suarez selling it like he was shot (And lets be real most players would sell it like that) the ref choose penalty.

Suarez was given a inch and he took it simple as that.

Lets not let that take away from the fact that Barca were simply brilliant and PSG were idiots. Neymar was fantastic in the final 7 minutes. That free kick was superb

*"Yes."*, but you could argue for the warriors because they had the best regular season record in NBA HISTORY + the two best shooters in the league and coach of the year, so out of every finals team in NBA history *they* should have been the least likely to blow a lead in the finals.

it's definitely PSG or Falcons who had biggest chokes. the other games, even when you're up 3-1 in baseball and nba, you still have to win another game to seal the deal. and every new game starts 0-0 where aggregate scores don't matter.

unlike Falcons and PSG, where all they had to do was MAINTAIN the lead, and run the clock which they failed to do.

p.s. and im a falcons fan btw.

I'll just say it and it is true. PSG did not choke, the game was fixed/scripted. 100% fixed, Barcelona scores 3 goals in the last 6 minutes in the game. Am a seriously the only one who thinks, oh I'm sorry not thinks, KNOWS that that game was fixed. There is a reason why no club has ever came back from a 4-0 deficit.

A uefa champions league quarterfinal is more prestigious than the superbowl TBH

Cant wait for El Clasico in Miami this summer!!!!

[brandonaguilera]

Here's the bottom line. ELITE teams don't blow 4-0 leads regardless of who they play or where or even if the ref did have questionable calls. You'll never see Bayern, Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, Juve, etc. have a 4-0 lead and play as spineless as PSG did. There's a reason NOBODY had ever overturned a 4-0 deficit. Because it IS damn near impossible. Just 3 weeks ago they demolished Barcelona 4-0 in a performance so convincing people were calling them favorites to win it all.
So how could they go from being praised as UCL favorites to getting knocked out in that fashion? Blaming the refs is idiotic because, yes they did influence the result, but the tie was in PSGs hands most of the time, they should have never let it come down to that.

2005 champions league final, AC Milan vs Liverpool

[LordAlex]

Nobody talking about the referee being fired for the rest of the year by UEFA...

[roheee]

Look how far jason has come with his football knowledge:)

[chijiokechukwudum]

PSG choked 60%, the ref 30%, Barca 10%

[juniorreyes]

best comeback ever being down 4-0 is the football equivalent of being down like 42-0, goals are a lot harder to get than touchdowns

[dan]

Biggest choke in soccer/football at least

[fbmontages]

Liverpool didn't have players like Messi, Neymar, Suarez

[quicklearn]

When Francis said "sweatpants" I almost pissed myself. 1:22

[MrKajjaGG]

It wasn't as much PSG choking as it was Barca validating the existence of sporting endeavour. It was art. Magic.

I'm not even a Madrid or a Barca fan but man these Madrid fans or should I say Ronaldo fanboys are crying more than PSG fans. Crying about the penalty's how they weren't penalties. When a defender has all there focus on you and are not looking at the ball and they come to contact with you even tho it's slight contact and you sell it like Suarez did, the ref is gonna give a penalty. I don't know why you guys are crying so much about the call, Real Madrid have been getting calls to their favor throughout this La Liga season. The first penalty the defenders head came to contact with Neymar shin the main ref didn't call a Penalty, while it was the ref to the side of the goal who said it was. Some you really need to actually watch games instead of copying what other say on the Internet.

Unai Emery was was playing against Barça like he used to in the Spanish league. Score a goal against the almighty Barça and sit back and get battered and hope for the best. He really overlooked the quality PSG have from th GK and defence all the way to Cavani. They would have had an easier time playing like the big team they are, instead Unai brought that small-team mentality to PSG.

We can all have our opinions in hindsight but from what I heard the officials running the game helped Barca alot. Even UEAFA took notice
