Champions League: Barca with 4-0 gala against BVB, PSG defeats Aston Villa 3: 1-Diepresse.com
Lewandowski scored a double pack in the game against his ex-club Dortmund.
FC Barcelona is one and a half legs in the semi-finals of the football champions League. Raphinha (25th), Robert Lewandowski (48th, 66th) and Lamine Yamal (77th) on Wednesday in the quarter-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund ensured a 4: 0- (1: 0) home gala, which will make the Catalans in Ruhrpott a high favorite next Tuesday. PSG also created a good starting position, also prevailing 3-1 (1: 1) at home against Aston Villa.
The extremely powerful FC Barcelona showed no doubt about his triple intentions from the start. Lamine Yamal was closer to the 1-0, goalkeeper Gregor Kobel (6th) or the extremely pointed angle (over/8.) Prevented it for the time being. It should not fall according to one of the numerous Barca combinations, but as a result of a free kick. Raphina finally pushed the ball into the goal, but the play equipment would have gone across the line anyway.
The BVB, which currently has to do without Marcel Sabitzer injured on the knee, just had its best phase afterwards. Serhou Guirassy only hit a air hole (35th), then forced Wojciech Szczesny to intervene (41.) and had the outside network trembled before the break (45.+1). However, the blue grana recorded their old rhythm in the second half and quickly cheered through Lewandowski.
The outdoor bar saved the German for the time being, when I tried Fermin Lopez (66.), the third goal, but a little later the 36-year-old Lewandowski did not know a pardon with his ex-club and completed with his 105 CL goal. Towards the end, it was Yamal, who again finished a perfect counterattack and barca has been pounding the door to the first CL semi-final far since 2019. Dortmund struggled in the finish happily for the honor goal.
Paris fell behind despite total dominance
A little more dominant than Barca appeared in the first half of the designated French champion in the Parisian Prince Park. A possession of 75 percent over 90 minutes clearly showed the balance of power, and there were almost only opportunities for the team of coach Luis Enrique. However, Argentina’s world champion goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was always there, he parried against Vitinha (7th) as well as against Ousmane Dembele (9th) and Achraf Hakimi (18th). A vitinha shot from the sixteen grazed just over the gate of the villans (22nd).
The table seventh of the Premier League seemed ripe for the goal, but held the pressure and used Morgan Rogers one of the rare switching moments ice cold (35th). The picture remained unchanged, of course, PSG continued to patiently sought the way to the goal and was rewarded before the break. Martinez was powerless at the shot of 19-year-old Desire Doue, who was set to zero (39.).
PSG continued cheerfully after the restart and rewarded himself through a formidable shot Khvicha Kvaratskhelias into the short Kreuzeck (49.). At the hour period it was Martinez, who kept the game open with a strong parade against Hakimi (58th). PSG had to be blamed for a long time to make too little out of its dominance, but still struck through Nuno Mendes (92nd). (APA)
