It was a night when European records tumbled as the goals flew in as arguably one of the competition's best games thrilled the world.
But it wasn't just the heroes of this continent who were making a little bit of history.
Spurs star Son Heung-min became the top scoring Asian ever in the Champions League.
He did it within ten minutes of Tottenham's incredible quarter-final at Manchester City .
Son, 26, now has 12 goals in the competition - one more than former Dynamo Kyiv attacker Maksim Shatskikh.
It seemed like the perfect night for the South Korean.

But even though his three goals over the two games took Tottenham through, he must sit out the first leg of the semi-final with Ajax.
Having been booked twice in this season's competition previously, his 48th minute yellow card took his tally to three for the tournament - triggering a one-game ban.
Nobody bothered telling the man of the moment that he was walking a suspension tightrope.
He was informed of his ban by Sky Sport in Germany after the game - as captured by journalist Archie Rhind-Tutt - Son could only respond with a heartbreaking "I didn't know!"

Thankfully he had digested the development before his next media interview.
"I have never seen something like this," Son told BT Sport after the game.
"It was tough and crazy but we are very proud of our team-mates. It was madness!
"Sometimes you are annoyed with VAR but today it is thank you.
"We fought together for 90 minutes.
"We showed unbelievable character and fight."
