From a United fan, bravo. Holy hell what a comeback. Those who have doubted Barca this year should just look at this game.

Are people going to say Barca cheated? Of course. Some of those dives were pathetic. Still though, 6 goals is 6 goals and PSG have nobody to blame but themselves on this one.

I’m not even into football at all, plus I live in Paris, so I never expected to be so amazed to see a result like this. But wow. That must have been a hell of a show.

I barely follow soccer, what’s with all the aggregate scoring? Do they keep a running tab of scores?

The knockout round consists of a home and an away game. The goals from those two games are added together to get the aggregate. The tie-breaker is away goals. If Barcelona had not scored that last one PSG would have gone to the next round since, even though they were tied on aggregate, PSG had an away goal.

If both teams are tied and both have the same amount of away goals after full time, the game goes to extra time and eventually penalties if needed to decide a winner. The final is just a single game, so just the knockout rounds are played over two games.
