Barcelona secured a spot in the Champions League semi-finals with a 5-3 aggregate victory over Borussia Dortmund, despite a 3-1 loss in the second leg where Serhou Guirassy scored a hat-trick. Dortmund's spirited performance almost led to a remarkable comeback after Guirassy's early goals, but Barcelona's overall first-leg dominance proved decisive.
Barcelona, aiming for a treble, will face either Inter Milan or Bayern Munich in the semis. Guirassy's impressive form, with 13 Champions League goals this season, showcased Dortmund's fighting spirit despite being outclassed initially. Despite the loss, Barcelona's resilience and tactical decisions ultimately secured their progression to the next round.
