After a stunning 4-0 home win in the first leg, last night Barcelona struggled significantly in Dortmund against Borussia, losing the return match 3-1 to the German side. Nevertheless, the Spanish side advanced in the end, although they risked experiencing another unexpected comeback in the Champions League.
Indeed, Borussia Dortmund enjoyed a strong start to the match, taking a 2-0 lead within the first 48 minutes. Such a result gave the German fans reason for hope. However, Barcelona, despite displaying some weaknesses, secured their qualification thanks to an own goal that shattered Dortmund’s dream of staging an extraordinary comeback.
This match in Dortmund will certainly be carefully analyzed by the coaching staff of either Inter Milan or Bayern Munich, depending on who prevails this evening at the San Siro. In the semifinals, Barcelona will face one of these two teams, while on the other side of the draw, PSG awaits the winner of the tie between Real Madrid and Arsenal.
