Gerard Pique promises Barcelona baby boom

Gerard Pique joked there may be a baby boom among Barcelona supporters in nine months’ time following Wednesday’s record-breaking Champions League victory over Paris St Germain.

Barca scored three times after the 88th minute to stun PSG 6-1 at the Nou Camp and win their Champions League last-16 tie 6-5 on aggregate.

No team in UEFA club history had ever successfully overcome a 4-0 first-leg deficit but Barca wrote themselves into the record books thanks to goals from Neymar (two), Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, a Layvin Kurzawa og and Sergi Roberto. The historic triumph was sure to have been celebrated well into the night by followers of the Catalan giants, and Pique quipped that there might be some longer-term implications as well.
