The black and yellow are bravely struggling in Barcelona-and are unlucky several times. The end then falls out clearly. And of all people an old acquaintance becomes a match winner.
Fighted, fought for a long time-and in the end there is a debacle: Borussia Dortmund has had to accept a clear 0: 4 (0: 1) defeat in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League at FC Barcelona, the team of coach Niko Kovač is in front of the end.
Raphinha (25th), Robert Lewandowski with a double pack (48th, 66th) and Lamine Yamal (77th) on Wednesday evening the ultimately also deserved victory for the eleven of ex-federal coach Hansi Flick. Dortmund struck Wacker, especially in the first half of the game, also came to chances, but was ultimately too harmless and at least one step too slowly against the Barcelona game. At the latest after an hour of play, the Catalans left no doubt about a high victory.
The Westphalia got to feel the offensive power of the Catalans early on. In particular, Ramy Bensebaini, who had been struck before the game, seemed completely overwhelmed against Yamal. After seven minutes, Gregor Kobel in BVB goal against Lewandowski prevented the leadership of the Catalans. Dortmund also struggled in the structure. Again and again BVB lost the ball too early.
After a free kick after 25 minutes, it was time: Because full -back Bensbaini produced the next bad positional error, Raphinha dusted out of the offside position in his back to the deserved leadership of Barcelona. However, the goal was able to check the video referee.
Dortmund also gradually came to offensive campaigns. The left attack side, on which Karim Adeyemi was aged, proved more effective. On the other hand, the game largely passed to Jamie Gitten, who surprisingly got a chance in the starting eleven after about a month.
Dortmund’s best Champions League goal scorer Serhou Guirassy suddenly appeared in the Barça goal in the 36th minute suddenly in front of Marc-André Ter Stegen’s representative Wojciech Szczęsny, but stepped past the ball. In the stoppage time of the first half, Guirassy only hit the outside network.
At the break, Kovač reacted by taking the yellow pre -loaded adeyemi from the field and brought Maximilian Beier. It was hardly in the field, there was already the next damper. This time Waldemar Anton made a bad positional error against Raphinha. Its header headed Lewandowski over the line for 2: 0 Barcelonas.
And the Catalans really turned up. One attack after the other rolled towards the pitiful Dortmund back team, in which only captain Emre Can convinced. Lewandowski then used one of the many chances to go to his second goal. Again, Bensbaini was overflowed like a youth player. After a counterattack, Yamal finally came to his goal.
