Barcelona v Milan: A record breaking comeback (if you ignore the 4 others)



ITV Sport made much of the fact that no team has ever comeback from a 2-0 first leg defeat to progress in the Champions League.

That is technically correct, but ignores the fact that teams have come back from a two goal defecit three times and even a three goal deficit once. What's more, AC Milan were the team that surrendered a three goal lead and Barcelona have previously come back from two goals behind.

Sorry to spoil the party.
