5. Barcelona vs PSG (6-1, Camp Nou,2017)

PSG came into this match having taken a 4-0 lead. It was next to an impossible task for Barcelona but what unfolded might have been one of the most dramatic nights of the tournament. Barcelona had a 3-0 lead but PSG made it 3-1 with 30 minutes to go. With merely 5 to 6 minutes left Barca needed 2 goals to win the tie and it looked that it would not have been possible. But a goal from Neymar and a stoppage-time winner from Sergi Roberto made the impossible possible as Barcelona made one of the best comebacks of the modern Era.

4.Real Madrid vs Barcelona(2-3, Santiago Bernabeu,2017)

2. Manchester City vs QPR (3-2, Eithad,2012)

Martin Tyler screams of “Agueroooooo!!!!” is still fresh in every football fan’s memory. In the last matchday of the Premier League City took on QPR with an eye on the title ending their 40-year barren spell. Manchester United had won their last match and City were losing 1-2. The title looked set for United when in the 92nd-minute city equalized and in the 94th minute scored the winner through Aguero. The title was won on goal difference for the first time and the dramatic ending of the season was one of the best football has ever seen.

1. Brazil vs Germany (1-7, Brazil 2014)

Probably the greatest game and one of the biggest shocks of the decade came in the semi-final of the 2014 World Cup when host Brazil took on Germany. Brazil had the support of the fans and we’re looking for their 6th World Cup. But what unfolded was nothing shock. Germany went rampant in the first 30 minutes putting 5 past the Brazilian goal line as the whole stadium went quiet. Germany added two more and brazil scored a late consolation goal but it was one of the most embarrassing defeats for the Brazilian team. The Germans had humiliated them in their backyard and a defeat which was hard to swallow for any Brazilian fan.
