Hardship of the hosts, is not enough to increase the comeback

Borussia Dortmund produced an exciting exhibition in front of his fans at his home, but eventually reduced himself to his commitment to annul a four-goal deficit, defeating Barcelona 3-1 at night, but lost 5-3 in total in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Dortmund entered the second stage by 4-0, but did not waste their time to show their intention.

The German side dominated the opening exchanges, generating a large number of early possibilities.

Maximilian Beier, Karim Adeyemi and Daniel Svensson tried Wojciech Szczesny, who was spent several times in a frantic first 10 minutes.

The progress came in the 11th minute. A VAR review annulled a decision off the game to grant a penalty to Dortmund after Szczesny demolished Pascal Brut.

Serhou Guirassy got up and turned freshly, making a ball towards the center to give the hosts a well -deserved and turn on even more.

Barcelona struggled to face Dortmund’s relentless and pressing attacks.

Shortly after the restart, Dortmund hit again. A well-worked corner routine saw that Bensebaini pointed to the ball on the goal for Guirassy, ​​who headed home from a close to double the score and reduce the total score to 4-2.

Just as Dortmund seemed to win the upper hand, the disaster affected. For 54 minutes, Barca’s Fermin Lopez drilled a low cross in the box that diverted Bensebaini and its own net, restoring a three-goal pillow for visitors to 5-2 in total.

Despite the mishap, Dortmund never ceased to believe. Substitute Julien Duranville had an immediate impact, exploded past defenders and delivering a dangerous cross.

Ronald Araujo’s attempt fell directly to Guirassy, ​​who broke home to complete his hat-trick and take it to 3-1 at night, 5-3 in total.

It was a record time for Guirassy, ​​who only became the fourth Dortmund player to clean a Champions League hat-trick after Lewandowski, Aubameyang and Ageyemi.

With a boost next to him and less than 15 minutes, Dortmund pushed strong to make a dramatic comeback. Brandt had the ball on the net after coming, but his goal was ruled out on play.

Despite an inspired performance, Dortmund was short. Barcelona advances in the semifinals against Bayern Munich or Inter Milan, surviving a great scare in Dortmund,
