Real Madrid – not Barca – are comeback kings, says Raul
Real Madrid would be more likely to pull off a Champions League comeback against PSG than Barcelona, according to club icon Raul.

"If any club is capable of such a comeback then that would be Real Madrid because that is their specialty," Raul told Le Figaro.
"Barcelona would have to have an exceptional game and at the same time Paris Saint-Germain a horrible one, so I think it is very difficult.
"If PSG play like they did in the first leg, then it will be nearly impossible for Barcelona to score four or five goals against them like they do against opponents in LaLiga."
