Raphinha Scores, Apologizes After Barcelona's 4-0 Victory Over Dortmund

Barcelona secured a commanding 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal, with Raphinha scoring the opener. His goal, which raised his tally to 12 in this season's tournament, was nearly disallowed due to a VAR review for offside, leading Raphinha to apologize to teammate Pau Cubarsí for 'stealing' what could have been his first Champions League goal. Alongside Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal also contributed to the scoreline, showcasing the team's attacking prowess. Raphinha emphasized the strong chemistry among the attacking trio and expressed cautious optimism about their semifinal prospects, noting the challenge of playing in Dortmund for the second leg. Barcelona's performance puts them in a favorable position heading into the return match, but Raphinha insisted that the tie is not yet secured. The team's remarkable form has seen them score four or more goals in 21 matches this season, highlighting their offensive capabilities.
