Barcelona's meteoric comeback to beat Paris Saint-Germain 6-5 on aggregate in the Champions League Round of 16 will be dissected for years to come after La Masia product Sergi Roberto smashed home an inconceivable 95th-minute winner.

But Barcelona's magic was undoubtedly supplemented by a monumental collapse by Les Parisiens. Here, after some post-match number crunching, theScore picks out key stats from Wednesday's historic battle:
0 - The number of tackles made by Thiago Silva and interceptions made by Blaise Matuidi.
1 - Barcelona is the first side in Champions League history to scale a four-goal deficit in a second leg.
8 - Assists by Neymar in this season's competition; at least three more than anyone else.
10 - Barcelona progresses beyond the last 16 for a 10th straight time - a competition record.
20 - Edinson Cavani is now Paris' joint-highest scorer in the Champions League alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic (20). Killer. pic.twitter.com/DYubiZd3Yb

95 - Time of the winning goal from Sergi Roberto.
100 - Percentage of aerial duels won by Barca's Samuel Umtiti.
