In the second leg of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona lost to Dortmund 1-3 after conceding goals in a row, but still eliminated Dortmund with a total score of 5-3 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Flick said that he and the team must analyze the performance against Dortmund, and also insisted that the team still has a long way to go in this competition.


Barcelona goalkeeper Szczesny brought down Gross in the 10th minute, so Dortmund was awarded a penalty kick. Later, Giraci scored the penalty kick, helping Dortmund to open the scoring with a score of 1-0. In the 49th minute of the second half, Bensebaini headed the ball to Giraci, who scored with a header, helping Dortmund to continue leading Barcelona with a score of 2-0.


In the 54th minute, Kounde made a through ball, Fermin passed the ball to the front of the goal, Bensebaini accidentally knocked the ball into his own goal while defending, allowing Barcelona to tie the game 1-2 and the total score to 5-2. In the 76th minute, Araujo made a mistake when clearing the ball, and Guirassi pushed the ball into the goal, helping Dortmund to change the score to 3-1.


In the end, Barcelona lost 1-3 to Dortmund away from home, but eliminated their opponent with a total score of 5-3 and successfully obtained a ticket to the Champions League semi-finals.


Barcelona coach Flick said, "Dortmund is a very good opponent and the atmosphere on the scene is incredible. It is not easy to play a game at this level, but in the end we advanced, which is our goal."


"We won the first leg 4-0 and lost the return 3-1, but I think we got to the semi-finals fairly. Dortmund gave us a lot of trouble and the atmosphere was really heated, but we made it to the semi-finals."


Flick also said, "We need to analyze this game, but we have played many games before, so this situation is understandable. We always hope to continue our performance, but this is not possible in every game. We are still confident, although we must admit that they have caused us a lot of difficulties."


"We have advanced to the semi-finals, and the team should look at it from a positive perspective. The team has paid a lot, which is worthy of recognition. We still have a long way to go and have not reached the end. There was not much joy in the locker room at the beginning, and I reminded everyone that we had advanced to the semi-finals. After that, the atmosphere changed and everyone became happier."
