If Real Madrid sank on Tuesday on the lawn of Arsenal (3-0), Barça on its side did not fail to shine during his quarter-round of the Champions League against Dortmund. Superior in all game compartments, the Catalans imposed their law at home on the 4-0 river score.
Raphinha opened hostilities by chewing the opening of the Cubarsi score to register 12e European goal of the season already (1-0, 25e). Then Robert Lewandowski took care of driving his old team by signing a double (2-0, 48e and 3-0, 66e) – its 10e and 11e achievements in competition for its part.
The last word having returned to the young talent of the workforce, Yamal (4-0, 77e), for a Barcelona victory which leaves little doubt about the outcome of a double confrontation which will make its verdict next Tuesday in Germany.
Barça confirms its rank of favorite
Until then, the BVB will certainly not have progressed enough to reverse the steam. An unprecedented feat that had been committed by Barça in 2017 at the expense of PSG (qualification after a 4-0 setback on the outward journey), in a comeback spent in posterity.
For sure, FC Barcelona is the favorite of its half of the table in the Champions League, with in perspective already the survivor of the quarter between Bayern and Inter (1-2 victory of the Nerazzurri in Munich this Tuesday to go). PSG was undoubtedly its pendant on the other side, with a probable half against Arsenal to come.
