    According to reports, Barcelona, who crushed Dortmund 4-0 in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals at Montjuïc, now faces difficulties against the Yellow Wall at Signal Iduna Park—a problem that reminds them of their old nightmare: conceding a comeback and being eliminated from the Champions League.

    The match started with Borussia Dortmund taking the lead in the first half, quickly making up one of the goals through a penalty awarded after Wojciech Szczęsny fouled Pascal Groß. The scorer was Serhou Guirassy, who was also one of the few standout players for his team in the first leg.

    Dortmund later scored another goal, which was disallowed due to a clear offside, but early in the second half, Barcelona saw their goal breached again. In the 48th minute, Dortmund players stormed toward Barcelona’s goal and created a golden opportunity where Szczęsny had to make a double save against shots from Ademi and Svensson, preventing the score from becoming 2-0. However, the ball went out for a corner, and from that, the goal came. Svensson’s cross was headed by Ben Sebaini onto the post, and there, Serhou Guirassy headed the ball into the net to score his 12th goal in the competition, tying with Rafinha and surpassing Robert Lewandowski in the top scorers’ chart.
