Manchester City beat the German record champions Bayern Munich 3-0 a week ago. For Yann Sommer and Co. the semi-finals are still far away. For a home crowd, however, the impossible must be made possible. A look back shows that a three-goal deficit does not have to be the end.
FC Barcelona – Paris Saint-Germain 6:1 (1st leg 0:4)
“La Remontada” or “The Miracle of Barcelona” on March 8, 2017 probably still gives football fans goosebumps today. PSG won the first leg in Paris 4-0 – what a burden for the Spaniards. But they seem to wipe them out, the Catalans lead 3-0 in the second leg. Spoilsport, meanwhile, is Edinson Cavani, who marks the 1:3 in the 62nd minute. Due to the away goals rule, Barça now need three more goals. And it gets really exciting, Neymar scores with a dream free kick and a penalty kick – 5: 1. In the 95th minute, Sergi Roberto slipped into a Brazilian cross and caused ecstasy. The Camp Nou is shaking like it has never shaken before. The greatest catch-up in history is a fact!
Roma – FC Barcelona 3:0 (1:4)
Once again the Catalans are involved, but this time as victims. Blaugrana won the first leg in Barcelona 4-1, an apparently comfortable lead. The rude awakening followed six days later, on April 10, 2018. The Romans needed three goals in their home stadium Stadio Olimpico to create a sensation. Edin Dzeko (6th) and Daniele de Rossi (58th) steer the action in the right direction before Kostas Manolas sends a header into the Italian capital (82nd).
FC Liverpool v FC Barcelona 4:0 (0:3)
Barcelona for the third time, losing for the second time. Once again, the five-time Champions League winner goes into the second leg with three goals, this time at Anfield. However, on May 7, 2019, Barça will live its red miracle. Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice for the Reds’ 4-0 win, with Nati’s Xherdan Shaqiri providing the template for the 3-0. The fourth goal comes from a brutal corner from Trent Alexander-Arnold, which then goes around the world (in the video). In the final, the Klopp team defeated Tottenham 2-0 and won the title.
Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 AC Milan (1-4)
The third Champions League game, in which a three-goal deficit was made up, was a bit longer ago. Deportivo La Coruna – now only in the third highest division – lost 4-1 in Milan. The world stars Kaka (two goals), Andriy Shevchenko and Andrea Pirlo pushed the door of the semi-final wide open for Milan. But in the second leg on April 6, 2004, the Spanish representative closes it with violence. The Galician team won 4-0 in the second leg. Walter Pandiani, who ended his career at Lausanne-Sport in May 2016, opens the scoring with Juan Carlos Valeron, Albert Luque and Fran the other goalscorers. In the semifinals, however, the last stop is against Porto.
FC Bayern Munich – FC Porto 6:1 (1:3)
And FC Bayern Munich is also familiar with overtaking. For example, Munich had to make up for a 3-1 defeat to Porto in April 2015 – and they did it with flying colors. Bayern swept the now 30-time Portuguese champions out of the Allianz Arena with a score of 6:1. The poster had already been shot at half-time, Pep Guardiola’s team was leading 5-0 at the time.
Now the team from Munich has to play against the Spaniard, who has been on the sidelines of Manchester City since 2016. Bayern wants to become the fourth team in history on Wednesday evening to reverse a three-goal deficit. Coach Thomas Tuchel is optimistic – he has to be: “Anything can happen in a game. Luck can change everything, every second, it doesn’t take much.” But the 49-year-old is also a realist: “Of course it’s a high mountain to climb. We have to take it step by step.”
