Barcelona have another opportunity to make Champions League history on Wednesday as they look to mount a remarkable recovery in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Luis Enrique's men were dismantled in last week's first leg with Juventus, Paulo Dybala's double helping inspire the Turin club to a 3-0 win.

But Barca have good reason to be confident of becoming the first team to overturn a 3-0 deficit in the Champions League, having pulled off the largest comeback in the history of the competition in the previous round, beating Paris Saint-Germain 6-1 after a 4-0 first-leg loss.

Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund's first-leg meeting with Monaco lived up to the billing, as the Ligue 1 club emerged 3-2 winners as Kylian Mbappe enhanced his burgeoning reputation.

The teenager will aim to help Monaco to a first last-four appearance since 2004, when they were beaten in the final by Porto.

Dortmund have plenty of young talent of their own, with Ousmane Dembele sharing the spotlight with Mbappe as he found the net in the defeat at Signal Iduna Park. However, history is not on the German club's side, with all five of the previous teams to have claimed a 3-2 away win in the first leg of a knockout tie progressing to the next round.
