The Blaugrana\u2019s ability to produce miraculous remontadas has defined their Champions League legacy. But exactly how many times have they overturned a two-goal (or greater) deficit after the first leg of a knockout tie? The answer is <b>five times<\/b> out of twelve such occasions in their European history.<\/p>\n<p>All five successful comebacks happened at the Camp Nou, underlining the legendary power of the Catalan fortress.<\/p>\n<h3>The Iconic Remontadas<\/h3>\n<p>The crown jewel remains La Remontada against Paris Saint-Germain in 2016\/17.

Fans still draw belief from those electric Camp Nou nights where impossible suddenly became inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it\u2019s Lionel Messi\u2019s heroics in 2017 or earlier generations of stars, one thing is clear: never write off Barcelona when they trail by two goals in Europe.
