The Spanish press Thursday hailed Barcelona as "legends" for their 6-1 triumph over Paris Saint Germain in which they overcame a four-goal first-leg deficit to reach the Champions League quarter-finals.

Sports daily Marca called Wednesday's match at Camp Nou a "historic comeback" by Barcelona. The city's Sport daily had a front page headline "You have become legends".

"Barca delivers its greatest achievement," said the Mundo Deportivo daily.

El Pais general daily said such a result was "unprecedented" while El Mundo said "Barcelona pulled off the miracle of a lifetime."
