Two goals in the first half and an early penalty in the second from Lionel Messi seemed to say the Catalans were going to score the four goals they needed.
But on 62 minutes, Edinson Cavani scored the away goal that should have taken them through.
And for the next 26 minutes, it seemed that Luis Enrique and his players had given up the fight, but two goals from Neymar in the 88th and 90th minutes saw the team re-energised.
The miracle became a reality when Roberto lifted the ball over Kevin Trapp to make it six goals on the night.
If there was ever a team to achieve this first-ever feat of overturning a 4-0 first leg deficit then it must be a team that contained Lionel Messi and his magic stardust. Congrats, Barcelona!
