Deportivo La Coruna, against AC Milan in 2004, and Roma, in 2018 against Barcelona, are the only other teams to have come back from three goals down after a first leg in the Champions League era.

In front of a crowd of attendees at the council hall on Monday, they were handed plaques by the mayor bestowing them with the status of "Adopted Sons of A ��ǰ���ñ��".

Ibrahima Diack and Magatte N'Diaye were given "adopted sons of the city" status in A ��ǰ���ñ�� on Monday in a formal ceremony recognising their actions.

It's the "deep, emotional connection" between Deportivo La Coruna and a passionate fanbase that stuck with the club through the highs, when they won La Liga and the Copa del Rey, and the lows, when Spanish football obscurity beckoned.

It also explains why young Arsenal prospect Charlie Patino swapped north London for A Coruna this summer.
