Barcelona V Borussia Dortmund: Champions League Quarter-Final, Gamba-Live | Champions League
Key events
29 minutes: Yamal is played on the right and has an easy passage (ISH) to set Raphinha for an easy possibility on his left, but he is on the right foot and blows him completely.
Objective! Barcelona 1-0 Borussia Dortmund (Raphinha, 25 minutes)
The free kick is sent to the post on the back, I came back inside and shot to cubes. He beats the goalkeeper and is rolling on the net when Raphinha launches a leg to help him beyond the line. There is a long VAR check because Raphinha was alone As soon as Only when Cubersi kicked the ball, and he really shouldn’t have touched it at all.
25 minutes: Adeyemmi is booked for trying to maneuver Kounde with a shot.
24 minutes: Barcelona They are not even forced to work for possession, Borussia is only delivering it to them, still and again. This is not a wise tactic, I’m afraid.
23 minutes: Barcelona Keep the ball for an age, but this time a very marginal decision goes against them, De Jong punished for not having really committed a foul.
19 minutes: A new corner routine from Barcelonawhich involves Raphinha who falls within the field from behind the goal, obviously not marked, and have passed. They do not mark it, which is equally because it would have caused a rumpus hell.
17 minutes: Borussia tries to break from a Barcelona Corner, but Balde makes Chukwuemeka down and the referee allows him in a dear way, getting away.
15 minutes: Guirassy almost arrives at the end of a cross on the right, but does not do it, and it was also obviously offside for almost the entire move.
13 minutes: A few healthier minutes, in which Barcelona I did not destroy the defense of Borussia once.
10 minutes: This also enriches himself, but at least bounces on the road.
9 minutes: But now visitors win their own corner, the cross of Gitten diverted behind.
8 minutes: Barcelona They are making a complete disaster by Borussia in these early stages, transforming their defense into so many wooden chips.
7 minutes: Save! Raphinha is played on the left. This time Lewandowski blocks on the edge of the area and is chosen by the prominent shot, but his finish is too central and Kobel keeps him out.
6 minutes: And Yamal shoots again! A nice trick to overcome Bensebaini on the right, but try a bold/ridiculous shot from an almost impossible corner rather than trying a passage.
5 minutes: Save! An enchanting sporting by Lewandowski in the accumulation, and Yamal makes the ball, cuts on the left foot and shoots too close to Kobel.
4 minutes: Which is curled on the six yard box and out of the game again.
3 minutes: Raphina finds space on the left, but Bensebaini cancels her low cross for a corner.
2 minutes: BarcelonaOn pause, it crosses the line halfway for the first time.
Commentator: “… and it is here that Barcelona can hit you so strong!”
Barcelona: Turn, play the ball gently backwards.
1 min: Peeeep! Borussia takes the center and immediately pumps the ball at the bottom and out of the game.
Right, preambles completed, Anthem played, hands shaken, coin launched.
The players come! There is some stops Barcelona In this competition, and if so, is Borussia the team to do it? We are to (make a little to) find (ing) outside!
Apparently there are 560 accredited journalists for this game, Establish a new record, as well as representatives of 88 issuers who hold rights. This strikes me like too many.
This is a strong aspect of Raphinha. Serious yes and what-to-gunna-to-it-it-it vibrations.

Hello World!
Borussia Dortmund has won seven of their first 10 games this season, Felici Times in which they blocked four Phonix Lubeck (yes, I know), Heidenheim and Bochum and seven Celtic, when their season was matured with hope and optimism (although all three non -victories were in the Bundesliga and were therefore only sixth in the championship when the race ended with three subsequent devices). Now I am eighth, three points behind Monchengladbach in sixth place and also three points above the twelfth place Wolfsburg, the team that downloaded them from the German Cup in October.
In short, they proved not very good. Yet here they are, in the last eight of the Champions LeagueTraveling to Barcelona and declaring, as their coach Niko Kovac did yesterday, that “we came here to win”. He has, transformed, an astute plan: “They have many strengths but every opponent has weaknesses and we want to use them,” said Kovac. “It would not be wise to say what we planned, but we have an idea.”
Barcelona played 22 games so far in 2025 and has not lost anyone. At one point they won everyone, even if they were annexed again to draw four. They cross the Liga and have a Copa del Rey final to look at the end of this month. Their greatest concern would seem to be excessively. “Dortmund has many class players and are in the neighborhoods for one reason,” Hansi Flick insists, their Swabian coach. Well, we’ll see it.
Welcome!
