Borussia Dortmund 3(3)-1(5) Barcelona: Blaugrana player ratings as Catalans rely on first leg result to squeeze into UEFA Champions League semifinals

Barcelona had to rely on their 4-0 first-leg victory over Borussia Dortmund to reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League after they lost 3-1 to BVB in the second leg. Serhou Guirassy scored an incredible hat-trick to push the visitors to the very end at the Signal Idunna Park on Tuesday, April 15.

Guirassy opened the scoring in the 11th minute from the penalty spot to lead the hosts into the break with a narrow lead. Ramy Bensebani set up the Guinea International in the 49th minute before bundling a Fermin Lopez ball into his goal in the 54th minute. Guirassy completed his hat trick in the 76th minute after he finished a poor Ronald Araujo clearance to wrap up a 3-1 win for Dortmund.

However, La Blaugrana progressed to the last four thanks to their 4-0 win in the first leg in Catalonia.
