Barcelona Secures Victory Over Borussia Dortmund in Champions League Match

Barcelona emerged victorious in a thrilling Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, with second-half substitute Ferran Torres scoring twice to seal the win and lift his team to second place in their group.

The excitement began in the second half when Raphinha opened the scoring for Barcelona with a clinical finish into the far corner after breaking behind the Dortmund defense.

The hosts quickly responded as Serhou Guirassy earned a penalty after being fouled in the box by Pau Cubarsi. Guirassy coolly converted the spot-kick, leveling the match with a precise finish into the bottom corner.

Torres then restored Barcelona’s lead by pouncing on a rebound after Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel parried Fermin Lopez’s effort, putting his team back in front.


Guirassy once again found the back of the net late in the game, taking advantage of a Pascal Gross assist to slot the ball into an empty net after rounding goalkeeper Inaki Pena.

However, it was Torres who had the final say, sealing the victory for Barcelona in the 85th minute with a precise low shot into the bottom corner.

The win significantly boosts Barcelona’s chances of securing a top-eight finish in the Champions League, guaranteeing direct qualification to the last 16 without having to go through the knockout play-off round.

Both teams had opportunities in a goalless first half, with Raphinha and Marcel Sabitzer coming close for Barcelona, while Guirassy had a goal disallowed for offside early in the second half.
