Barcelona – Borussia Dortmund 4-0. Chronicle by Daniel Scorpie: Barceluna Park, semifinals!

Barcelona had fun with Dortmund and is already thinking about the probable semifinal with Inter, after a goal -signed by all the three snitters of Hansi Flick's band

“Sometimes I don't even know if it's an advantage that I know Niko well. We are friends and we have no secrets. He's a fantastic coach and I admire him enormously. However, I know things that could help me,” said Hansi Flick about his former Bayern's Technical Bank.

Kovac has changed 5 holders to the group. What is sure to benefit is that Borussia was missing in the first turnkey with Barça three holders: Schlotterbeck, Gross and Sabitzer. And because of this, Kovac changed half a team compared to the holders with whom Nuri Shahin lost five months ago in the group.

But he also played (for nothing) with four defenders. This is how Anton, Bensebaini, Chukwuemeka, Adeyemi, Brandt, the last two constant presence, appeared. Which did not need to know Kovac, because there is no mystery as Barcelona plays, it was that in front of the autumn points, Frenkie de Jong returned.

Only the substitute for the injured (controversial legitimized) Dani Olmo was not clear, Flick betting Ferin Lopez (not Gavi), who had replaced Olmo on Iduna Park when the result was 1-1, to force success.

The raphinha greed at “robbed” on Cubarsi

Borussia accepted the Barlebrana implacable domination, 71% in the first half hour, with seven kobel's gate and four quadrats. With the usual game of steps in speed, attacks in waves and combinations between side lines, which have produced suffering in the “yellow-black” camp.

The occasions of Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski announced the goal of Raphinha, the 12th in the current competition. The Brazilian pushed in the net, greedy, from the gate line the deviated ball, with the head, by Pau Cubarsi, risking to be surprised in the offside!

Guirassy, ​​the ratang of the evening on Montjuic!

The zero next to the offensive achievements of Borussia, reflecting the timidity of Kovac's band, only deleted when the guests were led.

The Catalans also have weaknesses, but Guirassy does not take advantage: the Guinean took 9 meters, alone with Szczesny! The recital of the misses continued, with a ball escaped under the foot and a shot in the side net. Situations from which the tip with 10 goals was not allowed to forgive Barça!

How did Hansi Flick and Niko Kovac Preface Barcelona – Borussia Dortmund

Flick and we know each other and appreciate each other. Each one knows how the other sees the football, so we don't expect surprises. I know Flick wants to do triple. He practiced an offensive football, has adapted very well in Barcelona. The team has many advantages, but it also has weaknesses. And we came to win. Certainly Barcelona is a favorite, but Borussia was last year in the final although no one expected it. We believe in ourselves and we certainly have chances for the semifinals.

– Niko Kovac, coach Borussia Dortmund

We want to continue in the Champions League. Borussia is a good team, strong on the defensive phase, even if it has many absences. He has good players, it's a shame that the championship is so down, but he can recover. Niko is a fantastic coach and a wonderful man. Glad to see myself again with him. I like to play on their own ground, because we feel the best here. It would be good if we can cut the qualification from now on.
