The Catalans have made a gigantic leap into the semi -finals of this year’s competition after creating a breathtaking performance, which was led by their devastating striker triumvirate.
Robert Lewandowski’s clamp was between Raphhinha and Lamine Yamal between the gates when Barcelona tore her below average visitors before the second leg of the next week in Germany.
How the game unfolds
The Catalans were relentless of the first kick when they suffocated their overwhelmed visitors, and Yamal was twice at the goal of Gregor Kobel and Lewandowski, which shortly afterwards stung the stopper’s palms.
Finally, Barcelona found a well -deserved opener in the middle of the first half and it was the top scorer of the Champions League, who brought his twelfth home in competition. Both central defenders put together when Pau Comarsi Inigo Martinez ‘Header moved towards Lptes post before Raphinha, who was alarming shortly before the side, appeared on the goal line.
Although Barcelona’s sleepy defense in the first half in the first half of 68% in the first half, he gave Dortmund a route back into the process almost in half. One of several promising opportunities begged around Serhou Guirassy, who scored twice in the duel of the league phase -when he inexplicably lined a volley from eight meters.
However, every Dortmund impulse dissolved only three minutes after the restart, and it was Lewandowski who punished its former side. Barcelona’s broad men who were connected on this occasion when Yamal Raphinha selected a delicate delivery to the long post, the Brazilian walking over the six-yard box to make Lewandowski easiest.

Take a look at the player reviews of Barcelona 4: 0 Borussia Dortmund.
Barcelona’s main programs in the first leg on Wednesday consisted of earning a valuable pillow for Dortmund next week. With the friendly approval of an amazing and clinical representation, you have made the second leg almost completely insignificant.
Barcelona is the most wonderful comeback in football history and has booked its place in the last four of the Champions League for the first time since 2018/19 and shows the boasting that makes it one of the favorites to go all the way under Flick’s instructions.
A breathtaking attack indicator left Dortmund and injured himself while her defensive resilience and her well -deed engine compartment made such a phenomenal performance easier. It was just the perfect evening for Barcelona.
After Lewandowski was celebrated for his relentless goalkeeper from Dortmund fans, he is now feared like no other under the club’s fan base. The Poland internationally burned bridges with an amazing goal against BVB during his time with Bayern Munich and he is now even torturing his old side in Catalonia.
Two typical striker surfaces mean that he scored exciting goals in 28 games against Dortmund during his entire career in 28 games and sank her hopes of a second Champions League final this season.
Lewandowski never celebrates shyly against Dortmund, swallows the trend of “respectful” modern professionals, and one would expect to have another chance next week to mock the Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund was understandably impressive about the prospect of putting Lewandowski, and for a good reason given his crucial bracket in Catalonia. But the fighter planes on both sides of the 36-year-old were probably more devastating.
The openings for ten minutes characterized the evening for Dortmund’s abandoned full -back Julian Ryerson and Ramy Bensebaini, who had shockingly exposed both of the opponents Raphhinha and Yamal.
The brilliant speed and the sharp fluctuations of Barcelona’s insatiable men turned out to be too big for the defenders of Dortmund, with Yamal coming close to a clip in the first six minutes and Raphinha later included a start for Lewandowski moments. From then on, every feeling of defensive serenity was lost on the flanks.
Raphhinha and Yamal continued to torture themselves and effortlessly combined Lewandowski with his first evening, while they got together again when the former helped the latter for Barcelona’s last effort of the night.
Two extraordinary performances were the heartbeat of an amazing team when Barcelona’s winger reunited again on the big stage.
Dortmund has become known as a safe port for British abroad, and two Englishman attracted yellow jerseys in Catalonia. Jamie Gitten was restored to the starting line -up and the Chelsea loan Carney Chukwuemeka, who scored in midfield at the weekend.
Unfortunately, there was little the heart rate for the Anglophils, how events develop.
Chukwuemeka offered the better performance of the young duo and was full of energy during Dortmund striker. Had Guirassy not relieved his lines with the goal, which was gap ten minutes before half -time, he could have taken a template.
However, the Gittens were less impressive, and there was no change from Alejandro Balde before similar fights than he flanked, similar fights. He was not the only one who flowed for the visitors, but the Englishman did not deliver the slimest silver stones even the Germans.
