Dortmund Falls 3-1 to Barcelona, Exits Champions League 3-5 on Aggregate

In a thrilling UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg, Borussia Dortmund secured a 3-1 victory over Barcelona, led by Serhou Guirassy's hat-trick. Despite the win, Dortmund was unable to overturn a 4-0 deficit from the first leg, resulting in a 5-3 aggregate loss. Guirassy opened the scoring with a Panenka penalty and later added a second goal from a header, igniting hopes of a miraculous comeback. However, an own goal by Ramy Bensebaini allowed Barcelona to regain momentum, and Guirassy's third goal came too late to change the outcome. This match marked Barcelona's first defeat of 2025 but they progressed to the semi-finals for the first time since the 2018/19 season. Barcelona will face either Inter Milan or Bayern Munich in the next round, while Guirassy's performance solidifies his status as the Champions League's top scorer this season with 13 goals.
