FC Barcelona won to Borussia Dortmund 4-0 and is approaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions   League.

The German's Barcelona, Hansi Flick's, crushed Borussia Dortmund 4-0, which caused a storm of enthusiasm among its fans. The Spanish team's achievements this year, especially against German teams, testify to its improvement but also of course its progress. Barcelona did not know what victory meant in previous years in 6 games it had played against German teams. This year, however, things have changed. Both against Bayern Munich and against Borussia, it has 3 victories to show for, having scored 11 goals. !


Its great success against Borussia Dortmund was its second and was achieved very easily, as the final score shows. Under the leadership of Hansi Flick and the talent of just 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, who completed the triumph by putting the icing on the cake and reminding in more than a few cases of Ronaldinho or Messi, Barcelona reminded that it is characterized on the one hand by the love for the Teutonic risk of its coach Hansi Flick and on the other hand by the Latin passion for creation.


The evening opened with an easy goal by the Brazilian winger Rafinha, who, following the instinct of the hunter, almost caused harm to his team, after he sent the ball into the net with a projection. While it was already rolling towards the net of Kobel after the clever header of the stopper, Pau Cubarsi, with the risk of receiving it in an offside position. The Brazilian scored in the 47th minute with a header past Lewandowski after a wonderful move by Yamal. And the insurmountable Polish forward gave the home team a three-goal lead by completing a choreographed counterattack in the 66th minute, before the final show of the young Yamal.


Barcelona has an additional incentive from all those who claim the precious prize: any conquest of the Champions League will be a kiss of life in the effort it is making for its financial salvation.


Now the team that is administratively led by the very clever lawyer, Joan Laporta, has shown that despite some of its defensive weaknesses, it has learned to live with them and of course is one of the big favorites to win the trophy, because no other team has its own executive ability.


Barcelona therefore left no room for reaction to Borussia Dortmund, and will go to Westphalia next week out of... obligation, having essentially cleared the way by now with the qualification to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.


Two more goals from Lewandowski, who reached 29 in 28 matches against his former team, with Rafinha and Yamal also finding the net.
