Barcelona are in an excellent position to reach the Champions League semi-finals, but they are behind to Borussia Dortmund in the second of their quarter-final tie, which has closed the gap on aggregate.
Hansi Flick’s side arrived in Dortmund with a 4-0 advantage after last week’s first leg at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, but that now stands at 4-1 as the hosts have opened the scoring early on at the Signal Iduma Park, with the goal coming from Serhou Guirassy.
GUIRASSY 🥶
The big striker puts Dortmund ahead from the spot with the coolest of penalties after Szczęsny took out Groß in the area… 1-0 🎯

Pascal Gross was fouled by Wojciech Szczesny inside the area, and despite the offside flag going up, there was no offence in the build-up. That allowed Guirassy to step up, and he delivered an inch perfect Panenka penalty.
Barcelona are still in a very strong position in the tie, and if anything, that goal can be a wake-up call for them. They cannot allow any complacency to creep in, otherwise it could cost them.
