Paris Saint-Germain gets hit with all the memes after epic collapse
The Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Falcons have some company.
There's no way around it. As brilliant as Barcelona's manic, record-setting comeback was on Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain's simultaneous collapse will enter the pantheon as one of the worst choke jobs football - and sport in general - has ever seen.

Leading 4-0 heading into the match, PSG went into the final two minutes of regular time knowing that simply not conceding three goals would be enough to send the Blaugrana packing.

Obviously, the Ligue 1 side conspired to concede the trio of tallies, and turned what should have been a memorable upset into a night that will never be forgotten in the French capital - for all the wrong reasons.
The memes were plentiful after the final whistle.
