Final verdict
Not a great night for FC Barcelona as a team but they got what they wanted. They reach the Champions League semi-final for the first time since 2019.
Despite a hat-trick from Guirassy, who now has 12 goals in this seaons's Champions League, Dortmund could not recover the defeat in Barcelona in frist leg.
This game proved that Barcelona are not invincible; they can be beaten. This is Hansi Flick's team's first defeat in 2025 but they would love to forget this match and move on to the next one.
The treble dream is on for them.
Barcelona will face either of Inter Milan or FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals.
We will see you in the semis. Till then, take care and good night. Thank You.
