Serhou Guirassy and Borussia Dortmund won against Barcelona in 2025. No other team could do that. But it was not enough to get to the Champions League semifinals.
Despite Guirassy scoring three goals, his team still lost the match. Dortmund defeated Barcelona 3-1, which was Barcelona's first loss since December. However, Dortmund won the two games with a combined score of 5-3.
Dortmund lost the first game 4-0. So, they attacked Barcelona from the start on Tuesday because they had nothing to lose. This surprised Barcelona.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said the game in Dortmund would be difficult because of the fans, even though his team was four goals ahead.
Flick said to Amazon Prime, "I thought this might happen. Dortmund played very well today, so congratulations to them. And congratulations to my team, they are in the semifinals."
Barcelona's top scorers, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, didn't score in the game. Raphinha shot the ball, but the goalkeeper caught it easily.
Coach Niko Kovac said Guirassy is very important for Dortmund. He called him their "life insurance." This was after a game where Guirassy played very well and became famous quickly. After this game, he had scored the most goals in the Champions League this year. Kovac also said that Serhou needs his teammates to help him, like other players who score goals, and they helped him today.
Some people thought Dortmund lost the quarterfinal in the first game. Also, their captain Emre Can and player Carney Chukwuemeka could not play because they were injured that day.
For a time, Guirassy made difficult things seem possible.
Guirassy missed some chances before, but then he scored a goal from a penalty after the Barcelona goalkeeper hit Pascal Gross.
Guirassy scored again with his head to make the score 2-0 in the 49th minute. Then, a player from the other team, Ramy Bensebaini, kicked the ball into his own goal by mistake. This made it very hard for Dortmund to win the game.
Guirassy scored his third goal in the 76th minute because Ronald Araujo made a mistake. Now, Guirassy has 13 goals and is the top scorer in the Champions League this season.
This gave Dortmund hope, but Barcelona won.
Barcelona will play against Inter Milan or Bayern Munich in the semifinals. This is the first time they have been in the last four teams in the Champions League since 2019. In another game on Tuesday, PSG also reached the semifinals. They won by a total score of 5-4 against Aston Villa, even though they lost the second game 3-2.
Barcelona lost a game. It was the first time they lost since December. They also lost in the Champions League for the first time since September. The coach, Flick, has only lost seven times in 50 games with the team. He won the last seven games against Dortmund.
Dortmund might not play in the Champions League at their stadium for some time.
Last year, the team was second in the Champions League. Now, they are eighth in their league. They need six more points to get into the top four teams for the Champions League.
