Having heart attacks?? Barcelona’s fan.Definitely. A sensational match filled with thrill, where Dortmund succeeded in producing 3 goals with the help of Guirassy’s heroics. Barcelona made a mere escape as Dortmund’s defender had other plans—he netted an own goal, giving Barcelona a 5-3 victory and a first semi-final since Messi’s exit after 2019. The match began with Barcelona having a 4-0 lead over Dortmund in the first leg, which was a home-ground match for them. The exhilarating support that Barcelona carries had no match, but adding the history and previous five years’ outcomes, it was difficult for them to have such a great outcome in the first leg. Hansi Flick has done great work in uplifting the morale of the team, the effects of which can be seen in the La Liga table and now in the Champions League. Yesterday’s match, though, brought some drawbacks as Barcelona laid down their shield for some time, thinking it would be an easy win. But Dortmund’s stadium is a den for them and a graveyard for visiting teams, and Barcelona are not new to such information. The Signal Iduna Park had never seen Dortmund win over Barcelona in their past six meetings, but this 3-1 win came as a blessing in disguise. Guirassy became the 4th player to score a hat-trick for them in the Champions League. The result, though favouring Barca, gave the remaining teams in the league a blueprint on how to better Hansi Flick’s side. Barcelona joins Paris as they defeat Aston Villa and secure their place in the semi-finals. Let’s talk about that match too. It may add to my content, but why surplus another blog? Just add more excitement to this. So, talking about Villa vs Paris. Same scenario, same story, same result—as Paris brought with them a 3-1 lead and visited Villa on their turf. Villa, being a great defensive team, had an opportunity to overturn the defeat. But the match started with fast-forward attacks and presses by PSG. They created a 2-0 lead by 20 minutes that supplanted the scoreline to 5-1, but Villa had different thoughts. The second-half resurgence created three heavy chances that resulted in goals. Though it was a defeat, Unai Emery’s side became the first team to carry an 8-win streak in their first Champions League campaign. PSG’s victory means it’s their 4th consecutive semi-finals entry in the Champions League. It would be a dream run if they succeed in winning the league—being their first-ever Champions Trophy. But time will tell what unfolds. Until then, let’s enjoy the upcoming two quarterfinals coming up tonight. Can Madrid welcome Arsenal to their den and do an epic comeback, as they have done previously? One remarkable one being the Manchester City match. That’s all for today. Let’s enjoy Santiago’s fate—will it be Madrid’s glory, or will Arsenal’s dream run in the Champions League continue….
