DUNFERMLINE sent a congratulations tweet to Barcelona after they broke the Pars’ European comeback record with an incredible Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Lionel Messi and his superstar teammates stunned PSG by overcoming a 4-0 first-leg defeat thanks to a last-gasp 6-1 victory at the Nou Camp.

And it meant the Catalan giants had beaten a feat set by a Dunfermline side managed by Celtic legend Jock Stein in December 1962.

After losing 4-0 to Valencia in the first leg of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, they battered the Spanish side 6-2 at East End Park in front of nearly 15,000 supporters.

That took the tie to a playoff in Lisbon but Stein’s team lost 1-0 and Valencia went onto win the competition.

And Dunfermline praised Luis Enrique's Barca after the final whistle - and cheekily asked for a friendly match.

Supporters had earlier tweeted their surprise when commentator Ian Darke mentioned the Pars during the crunch Champions League encounter.

It's cracking me up, the commentators talking about Dunfermline Athletic FC tonight. My local club in the same breath as Barcelona. Hahaha — Ryan Seymour ®️ (@ryanseymour1983) March 8, 2017

One fan took a pop at Luis Suarez's part in Dunfermline's record being broken after he won a controversial injury-time penalty, converted by Neymar.

It may be billed as the greatest comeback but the referee has robbed Dunfermline of some footballing history. — Dougie Shirlaw ★ (@dshirlaw) March 8, 2017

Another paid tribute to Stein, who won the 1961 Scottish Cup with the Pars.

He left East End Park for the Hibs hotseat in 1964.

A year later Stein took charge at Celtic and went onto become the greatest manager in the club's history, leading the Lisbon Lions to European Cup glory in 1967 against Inter Milan.
