Overview
- Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski scored twice, with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal adding goals in a commanding 4:0 victory over Borussia Dortmund.
- Dortmund’s defense struggled significantly without key player Nico Schlotterbeck, and a tactical shift to a four-man backline failed to contain Barcelona’s offense.
- Captain Emre Can and coach Niko Kovac criticized the team’s lack of cohesion and effort, highlighting deeper morale and organizational issues.
- International media widely praised Barcelona’s performance, calling it a masterclass in offensive execution and teamwork.
- With the decisive loss, Dortmund’s chances of overturning the result in the April 15 return leg are seen as virtually nonexistent.
