Barcelona and PSG struggle to the semi -finals – Diepresse.com
FC Barcelona went into the quarter-final second leg against Dortmund with a 4-0 pad, and PSG had also brought a second game from the first game against Aston Villa. Nevertheless, the favorites had to tremble more than expected.
Miracles have failed to do so, the favorites made the race: FC Barcelona and Paris St. Germain were the first two teams to make their way into the semi-finals of the football champions League on Tuesday evening. The Catalans could afford a 1: 3 away defeat at Borussia Dortmund after the first leg 4: 0. France’s champion had to tremble even more against Aston Villa, and a 2-3 defeat followed on the home 3: 1 after 2-0 lead.
A triple pack from Serhou Guirassy (11th/elfmeter, 49th, 76th) was not enough to prevent the Dortmund from still. After all, the Germans succeeded, as Barca once again suffered a defeat after 24 unbeaten competitive games. The 29-year-old Guirassy took the lead in the shooting list of the « premier class » with 13 goals, Barcas Raphinha (12) replaced. Barca’s hit was an own goal of Ramy Bensebaini (54th).
Remaining quarter -final on Wednesday
For PSG, gates from Achraf Hakimi (11th) and Nuno Mendes (27th) were enough. Youri Tielemans (34th), John McGinn (55.) and Ezri Konsa (57.) fixed the home success of Aston Villa. The next opponent is waiting for Real Madrid (David Alaba) or Arsenal. Barcelona is dealing with either Inter Milan (Marko Arnautovic) or Bayern Munich (Konrad Laimer). The two remaining semi -finalists will be determined on Wednesday.
The Dortmund, who started again without the injured Marcel Sabitzer, could only really speculate in the initial phase to bring the feat to turn a 0: 4 deficit from game one. Incidentally, this had previously succeeded in a 6-1 against PSG in the round of 16 in 2017. Guirassy came to the center several times at an extreme urge, for a goal it needed a penalty foul from Barca goalie Wojciech Szczesny to Pascal. Guirassy converted Cool with a high Schlenzer into the middle (11th).
Guirassy met early again
As a result, the Spaniards were able to free themselves a little, but could hardly radiate a goal. After all, it was possible to stabilize the defensive. The BVB had a clear shot plus, but could not add up. This changed after the restart, when the home side shone again with a dream start, met this time. After a wide Svensson-deckball, Bensebaini extended headed to Guirassy, who headed out from the shortest distance.
Barca took the German by an own goal of Bensebaini, who promoted Ferm Lopez to his own network before Robert Lewandowski, ready to shoot in (54.), for the time being from the sails. Since a clarification attempt by Barcas Ronald Araujo landed exactly at Guirassy, who had no trouble to complete, tension in the final phase was again caused. Barca wavered there, but was able to prevent another goal.

Aston Villa pressed PSG
Aston Villa gave the tone in front of her own audience from the start, but the lack of efficiency revenge. First Hakimi (11th) and then Mendes (27th) via the inner rod shot a 2-0 and total 5: 1 lead for the Parisians. Nobody expected a turn, but the Villa players reported back before the break. A Tielemans shot was steered into his own goal by Willian Pacho, but not considered a own goal. In the second half, McGinn equalized after an energy performance with a left-wing shot, which was easily deflected by Pacho.

Konsa followed up after the ideal play of the strong Marcus Rashford. After that, the extension was in the air several times, especially Gianluigi Donnarumma prevented the fourth goal with several glossy acts and thus became a « match winner ». For Villa it was a weak consolation that there was a ninth victory in the recent ten competition games. (APA)
