Barcelona: Outgoing Barcelona boss Luis Enrique claimed his side have the firepower to stick six goals past Paris Saint-Germain as they attempt to make Champions League history by overturning a 4-0 first leg deficit today.

"If they can score four goals against us, we can score six," said Enrique. "We have nothing to lose and a lot to win."

Barcelona have thrashed Sporting Gijon and Celta Vigo 6-1 and 5-0 respectively. "Despite the fact that the result from the first leg is very one-sided, we are only halfway through the tie," added Enrique. "In 95 minutes, an infinite amount of things can happen. I am convinced that at some point we will be close to qualifying. That isn't to say we will do it, but that we will be close. And, when you are close, our confidence will soar and theirs could start to diminish."

No team in the history of the Champions League has ever turned around a four-goal deficit.
