The nail was in the coffin. Then, Barcelona did what only Barcelona could. The Blaugranes scored 3 goals in a span of 7 minutes to shock PSG in what was the biggest blown lead since the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51 (sorry Falcons fans), and the biggest blown lead in Champions League history.
Edinson Cavani scored what was surely the goal to put PSG through to the quarterfinals. For our new soccer fans out there, Barcelona led 3-1 but would need three more goals to advance due to PSG having an away goal. So what do you do when you need 3 goals in 30 minutes? You wait until the last seven minutes to score them. First, Neymar struck with a sublime free kick:
Then Neymar again. PSG’s Marquinhos "fouled" Luis Suarez in the box giving Barcelona another lifeline. Nice flop, Lucho.
Might've been a dive from Suarez () but still that ball from Messi Neymar with the penalty finish

And then the race was on. With five minutes of extra time, Barcelona needed one more goal to advance to the quarterfinals. Then this happened:

Yep. Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Falcons, PSG have done you one better (though it wasn't in the finals). Barcelona are headed to the quarterfinals.
Football. Fucking football. Imagine not being into it. Those poor, poor half-alive bastards.
