Was this the greatest week of AFC Champions League history?

Kuala Lumpur: Fans across the Continent are still talking about one of the most memorable weeks in the history of the AFC Champions League. The 2017 quarter-finals produced some incredible performances, an agonisingly close revival and a truly breathtaking comeback.

Guangzhou Evergrande v Shanghai SIPG

Guangzhou Evergrande nearly pulled off the great escape against Shanghai SIPG, overcoming a 0-4 first leg deficit before succumbing to their Chinese Super League rivals in a dramatic penalty shootout at the Tianhe Stadium on Tuesday night.

It was, said Shanghai SIPG's Yan Junling, the “craziest” game he has ever been involved in.
