There's something about the Champions League that just keeps on delivering spellbinding soccer games.

This edition of the tournament alone has been a trove of breathtaking matches. In the group stage, we got FC Barcelona's 4-2 shootout win over Tottenham Hotspur; Liverpool's last-gasp 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain; Ajax's 3-3 tie with Bayern Munich with four goals in the 82nd minute or later; and Manchester United's thrilling 2-1 injury-time, own-goal win over Juventus.

Then, the knockout stage. Juve's 3-0 comeback against Atletico Madrid, after losing the first leg 2-0. Ajax's 4-1 victory against Real Madrid, after a first leg loss. United overturning a 2-0 deficit to Paris Saint-Germain with a 3-1 away victory, capped by a 94th-minute winner. And then, of course, Ajax's 2-1 upset of Juve in Turin on Tuesday.

But, improbably, the craziest game of the season hadn't even happened yet.

That came on Wednesday, when Manchester City and Spurs exchanged four goals in the opening 11 minutes, setting a new Champions League record. City would get a third in the 21st minute and a fourth in the 59th, only for Spurs to come back in the 73rd to make it 4-3 and take the aggregate lead on away goals, courtesy of the 1-0 home victory in the first leg.

But that wasn't the end of this heart-stopping game. In the 93rd minute, Raheem Sterling appeared to have bagged the winner, only for the Video Assistant Referee to overturn it for offside and conserve the Spurs' victory.
