Barca managed to extricate themselves somewhat eventually, however, Dortmund started the second period as brightly as they had the first. Guirassy doubled the advantage to 2-0 three minutes after the restart, only for Ramy Bensebaini to turn the ball into his own net a short while later.

Shortly afterwards, Svensson did not generate enough power behind his attempt from 16 metres (6). And so it continued, with Barcelona's box under siege. Guirassy narrowly missed, Couto was winded following a collision with Fermin and Groß chased a ball from Adeyemi, only to be brought down by Szczesny (9).

Bensebaini met a corner-kick with a header on the right corner of the six-yard box; Szczesny saved. Ten minutes later, Beier headed a free-kick cross from Groß into the shot-stopper's arms.

The ensuing set-piece was delivered by Svensson towards the back post, where Bensebaini won the aerial battle and headed the ball across to Guirassy, who headed the ball home to double the lead to 2-0 (49). But five minutes later, Barcelona attacked down the right flank. Fermin fizzed the ball inwards and Bensebaini attempted to turn it behind for a corner but instead put it into his own net.

BVB did not quite have enough to bring it back to level terms again in what was a spectacular second half. The 81,365 spectators at a sold-out SIGNAL IDUNA PARK saw BVB put up a great fight against the favourites, levelling through goals from Serhou Guirassy on two occasions (60/78). Raphinha (52) and Torres (75/85) scored the goals for Barcelona.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/04/14/ucl-faktenvorschau/96M-BVB-Barcelona.jpg\" data-assetref=\"96M-BVB-Barcelona-1744629464030\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Borussia facts:<\/b> BVB have progressed in eight of the 19 knockout ties in UEFA competitions in which they lost the first leg away from home, mostly recently against Atlético Madrid last season. The biggest deficit that they have overturned to date was a 2-0. In both cases in which Dortmund lost the first leg by a 3-0 scoreline \u2013 2014 against Real Madrid and 2018 against Tottenham \u2013 they were eliminated. A 2-0 victory over the Madrid outfit in the return leg was not enough. The 5-0 win over Benfica in the European Cup on 4 December 1963 and the 4-0 triumph against AC Milan in the UEFA Cup semi-final on 4 April 2002 are the most glittering of the 14 European home wins achieved by a margin of four or more goals. There has never been a four-goal deficit after a first leg.<\/p>\n<p><b>Barcelona facts:<\/b> The five-time winners of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League have prevailed in 14 of their 21 knockout ties against German opposition. Overall, the Catalans have progressed to the next round in 38 of the 43 ties in which they won the first leg.
