A look at the history of the Champions League can at least give FC Bayern fans a little hope after the bankruptcy at Manchester City. The record German champions are under enormous pressure in the second leg in the coming weeks with the 3-0 loss in the first leg on Tuesday evening – but other teams have already caught up on such a deficit. “Nothing is given away,” said trainer Thomas Tuchel on Amazon Prime Video combatively.
The second leg between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Barcelona in the round of 16 of the 2016/2017 season was sensational. PSG had won the first leg in Paris 4-0 – the Catalans turned the knockout round with a 6-1 in the second leg.
In the 2018/19 semi-finals, Liverpool were all but eliminated after losing 3-0 in the first leg at FC Barcelona, but they made it back to the final with a 4-0 win in the second leg at home, which Jürgen Klopp’s team even won. The previous season, AS Roma had come back from a three-goal deficit against Barcelona in the quarter-finals, albeit thanks to the away goals rule. (dpa)
