It is fair to say that the European season is over at the Signal Iduna Park. Playing for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals first leg, Borussia Dortmund has lost 4-nil to FC Barcelona in a highly embarrassing manner. The Black-and-Yellows were outplayed, outnumbered, and outclassed by the Catalans, who dominated the match pretty much from start to finish.
Barcelona simply took the match under their shoulders from minute one and showed why they were the favorites and, clearly, the best team out of the two that got on the pitch at the Estadi Olímpic. They had control of possession (60%), xG (3.71), shots (18), and goals with a fair and square 4-nil advantage.
Now, BVB will play Bayern Münich away for the Bundesliga on the weekend. As this der Klassiker is vastly important for Dortmund's European aspirations for next season, this defeat to Barça personifies with perfection Borussia Dortmund's 2024/2025 season: predictable and soulless. Here are the player ratings for BVB's 4-nil loss to FC Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals:
