Mike Bushell speaking on BBC Breakfast has just compared Charlton's comeback against Huddersfield in 1957 to Barcalona last night against Paris St Germain, would you ever believe that we could be compared to the greatest club in the world?

Not getting me name read out on BBC Breakfast after emailing Mike Bushell to bring up the great comeback of '57 v Hudds while reporting the Barca v PSG last night
6-1 is an impressive scoreline, but as comebacks go two matches, three weeks apart is nothing like as good a comeback as scoring seven second half goals.

How can you compare Charlton with Charlton? If you think the Catalan national team, with added buy ins, are the greatest club, why are you here?
I detest Barcelona and every club like them with every fibre of my body...

Losing 3-0 away at Newcastle and coming back to win 4-3 back in (around) 1991. Fantastic comeback, with the added bonus that we didn't need a Suarez Rolling about on the floor feigning injury to get a penalty. Added bonus for me is that I was there.

Difficult to use European fixtures from the 60s / 70s / 80s because the style of play has changed a lot over the last decade.
i.e. the condition of pitches is a lot better and similar in West and East Europe, plus its easier to travel anywhere in the world these days so those factors dont need to take into consideration
I didn’t think there was any coming back following the 2 1 defeat to Northampton Town, particularly following the manager’s remarks. There was ‘nothink’ he could do, the players were deadwood that needed cutting out and there was a poor behavioral pattern within the squad that had never been seen before …ever ... anywhere.
Just three days later our magnificent manager had woven these misfits into a cohesive force that smashed Scunthorpe United 2 1. Furthermore he spoke with pride of his players, their application and dedication to the cause. He even singled out Tex amongst others for special praise.

The ball from the game is on display in the museum
Wasnt a comeback from us but to finish 4-4 with each team taking it in turns to score with neither taking a 2-goal lead is amazing

Charlton 3-3 Wolves from 0-3 in the early 80s, with Wolves needing a win to go up.
Obviously both greater than beating a top European team over 2 legs !

Last night, not the 7-6.
I recall playing in a game where we were 6-0 up and drew 6-6. I think the fourth goal we conceded was my fault!
Once when they were 3-0 down at Spurs and down to 10 men and won 4-3, and also when they scored twice in injury time to win the league v QPR.

Barcelona, however, did need three goals in the last eight minutes (taking into account added on time).
It's still pretty special. And they should both be lauded.
(But obviously, CAFC shade it
