A Champions League reunion between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain makes memories of the infamous "La Remontada" comeback of 2017 flood back.
PSG players and fans won't need to be reminded of their harrowing 6-1 defeat at the Nou Camp after they won the first leg 4-0 and somehow got dumped out of the tournament 6-5 on aggregate.
4-0 down after the first leg back in 2017, Barcelona needed a miracle in the Champions League against PSG.

Another interesting subplot ahead of tonight is the fact that Mauro Icardi, once the skipper of Inter Milan, spent three years at Barcelona's famed La Masia academy. Can PSG get the job done and lay the ghosts of 2017 to rest? They lead the tie 4-1 on aggregate...
