It's now one year of La Remontada, the greatest comeback in the history of football. And oh, so many things have changed... Most notably with money.
It all started when the Barca team travelled to Paris for their Champions league round of 16 clash against Paris SG and received the shock of their lives when they lost 4-0. PSG were definitely the better team then. But what happened after that is much better...
In early March the two teams met again but this time in Barcelona . The Barca players were far better and they scored six with conceding only one. Suarez scored early followed by Kurzawa's own goal. Messi then put in a penalty. After that Cavani scored for PSG to give them the advantage of an away goal. Neymar then scored from a free kick before completing his brace from the penalty spot. In the dying seconds Neymar assisted Sergi Roberto to complete the comeback. Let's now see what all has changed in one year...
Neymar's transfer to PSG
In August, Neymar himself joined the club he humiliated - PSG. He joined them for a world record fee of 222 million euros. This left Barca shocked but only for a short while. He scored his first goal against Guingamp (Ligue 1)
Kylian Mbappe joins PSG
Young French star Kylian Mbappe also joined PSG in a loan move.
Transfers of Ousmane Dembele and Paulinho
To cover up Neymar's absence Barca bought in Ousmane Dembele and Paulinho for fees of 105 & 36 million respectively. Both signings we're criticised but Paulinho proved his critics wrong.
Barca's brilliant form
Barca surprisingly turned out to be great in La Liga thanks to Messi and not to mention Paulinho. Barca could just not stop scoring
Coutinho joins Barca
Philippe Coutinho joined Barca for a fee of 142 million euros. The transfer talk was going on for a long time but finally got over in the winter transfer window. He scored his first goal against Valencia (Copa del Rey).
So those were the big things so far. Hopefully they keep on playing well and be entertaining.
