Barcelona's dramatic victory over Paris St Germain to complete a remarkable comeback and secure a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League produced some 6.1million Twitter posts - more than when Leicester were confirmed as Premier League champions last season.
A goal from Sergi Roberto five minutes into stoppage time gave Luis Enrique's men a 6-1 win at the Nou Camp which was enough to overturn a 4-0 deficit from the first leg, something no other side had done in the history of the competition .
The tie itself produced nearly nine million Tweets on aggregate, with 5.5 million sent the night Leicester won the 2015/2016 title after Tottenham drew with Chelsea on May 2.
Roberto volleyed in a floated ball from Neymar, whose late brace had levelled the tie heading into extra-time, to spark wild celebrations from Barcelona on the pitch and in the stands, while PSG were left in stunned disbelief .
The moments following such a dramatic finish generated a spike of 138,000 Tweets per minute registered on the social media site.
Five of the top-10 'most Tweeted' moments from the 2016/2017 season to date came from Wednesday night's game.
