Barcelona 4-0 Borussia Dortmund: Raphinha matches Lionel Messi as Barca run riot in Champions League
Barcelona delivered a devastating attacking display to thrash Borussia Dortmund 4-0 and put one foot firmly in this season’s Champions League semi-finals.
Robert Lewandowski had a brace against his former club in a statement victory in Wednesday night’s last-eight first-leg clash at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, with Raphinha also scoring and providing two assists to move on to 19 goal involvements for the competition this term and match the great Lionel Messi’s record for a single season set back during the 2011/12 campaign.
The exceptional Lamine Yamal was also on target as Barcelona’s irresistible attacking trio simply decimated sorry Dortmund, who appear to face an almost impossible task in attempting to overturn such a daunting deficit in next Tuesday’s second-leg tie at Signal Iduna Park.
