Barcelona 6 - 1 PSG: A Tactical Review

The second leg of the 2017 Round of 16 tie between Barcelona and PSG will go down in Barcelona lore. The first leg went about as poorly as anyone could imagine, and saw the team return to Camp Nou trailing 4-0. Before the second tie, no one gave the team any chance of advancing. FiveThirtyEight gave Barcelona a 7% chance of advancing (since updated to account for the win, of course). Club Elo gave the team just a 3% chance of moving on. The fans, at most, were hoping for a redemptive performance - one that would see their pride restored but still see the team defeated on aggregate.
