The facts on the quarter-final first leg in Barcelona

Borussia Dortmund will face FC Barcelona for the second time this season. After an unfortunate 3-2 loss in the league phase, they will now take on the Catalans in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The facts preview for the first leg at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona on Wednesday evening (kick-off 21:00 CEST, live on DAZN)

The scenario: The runner-up in the league phase versus the team in 10th. Barcelona have suffered only one defeat – 2-1 in Monaco in the opening game – and are unbeaten in nine games in the competition this season (eight wins and one draw). The leaders of Spain's La Liga beat Benfica 1-0 and 3-1 in the round of 16. After finishing in 10th position, Borussia Dortmund had to enter the play-offs (3-0 and 0-0 against Sporting Lisbon) before knocking out OSC Lille in the round of 16 thanks to a 0-0 draw (H) and a 2-1 victory (A).

Home/away: FC Barcelona have won only 10 and have lost six of their last 22 home games in European competition. But there have been four home victories this season, including by a 4-1 scoreline against FC Bayern, and only one draw (2-2 against Atalanta). On average, the team have scored more than three goals per match on home turf. Borussia Dortmund have won four of their six away games in the current Champions League campaign – in Bruges, in Zagreb and in Lisbon by 3-0 scorelines, in addition to the 2-1 win in Lille. The Black & Yellows also won in Newcastle (1-0), Milan (3-1) and Paris (1-0) last season, meaning that they actually have a positive record over their last 12 away games in the Champions League (seven victories, one draw and four defeats).

Barcelona facts: The five-time winners of the European Cup and the UEFA Champions League reached the round of 16 for the first time in three seasons in 2023/24. The most successful era in this competition came between 2007/08 and 2019/20, when the Catalan club always got to the quarter-finals at least. Barca have won a "major" UEFA competition on 14 occasions: the European Cup and Champions League five times, the European Cup Winners' Cup four times and the UEFA Cup five times. Robert Lewandowski has become only the third player to pass the 100-goal mark in the Champions League. Having previously won 14 of their 15 clashes against German visitors, there were three home defeats on the bounce against Bundesliga opponents before the 4-1 victory against Bayern. The Catalans have progressed in 13 of their 20 knockout ties against German clubs but have lost their last two, most recently against Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League in 2021/22 (1-1 A, 2-3 H).

Borussia facts: BVB might have won only four of their last 17 clashes with clubs from La Liga (five draws and eight defeats), but they have been successful in seven of their 10 knockout ties, most recently against Atlético Madrid in the quarter-finals last season (2-1 loss away and 4-2 victory at home).

Head-to-head record: Following the 1997 European Super Cup (played in March and in January 1998 / 1-1 H, 0-2 A), the group games in the 2019/20 Champions League campaign (0-0 H, 1-3 A) and the 3-2 loss in this season's league phase, these will be Dortmund's sixth and seventh meetings with FC Barcelona.

Flashback: The 81,365 spectators at a sold-out SIGNAL IDUNA PARK saw BVB put up a great fight against the favourites on 11 December 2024, twice drawing level through Serhou Guirassy from the penalty spot in the 60th minute and then in the 78th minute, before ultimately falling to a 3-2 defeat. A goal from Raphinha (52) and a brace from substitute Ferran Torres (75/85) sealed the win for Barcelona. Based on the xG (2.73-2.04), BVB could have narrowly won.

Personnel matters: Hansi Flick replaced his former boss Niko Kovac as the FC Bayern Munich head coach on 3 November 2019 and led the team to the treble in his first season. Robert Lewandowski played for Borussia Dortmund from 2010 to 2014 and scored 103 goals in 187 appearances. Wojciech Szczesny and Emre Can played together at Juventus, as did Eric Garcia, Ferran Torres and Felix Nmecha at Manchester City, Ansu Fati and Pascal Groß at Brighton, and Pablo Torre and Yan Couto at Girona.

Champions League: Borussia Dortmund are taking part in the UEFA Champions League for the 19th time (only 09 clubs have participated more often), reaching the knockout round in 10 of their last 12 campaigns and the final on three occasions (winners in 1997, finalists in 2013 and 2024). FC Barcelona are the record participants: they are taking part in this competition for the 30th time, have been ever-presents since 2003 and have won it four times, most recently in 2015.

That makes me proud."<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/04/07/guirassy-iv/guirassy-iv/Guirassy-Lewandowski.png\" data-assetref=\"Guirassy-Lewandowski-1744022753886\"><\/p>\nDid you use to follow those players when they were at BVB? \n <\/b>"Yes, of course. Even though I wasn't at Dortmund, BVB are a club that everyone knows. When you watch the Bundesliga, you automatically remember those players."<\/p>\nYou're up against FC Barcelona in the quarter-finals. You suffered a 3-2 defeat to the Spaniards in the league phase \u2013 what do you remember from that game?  \n <\/b>"It was an unbelievable match. The result wasn't good for us, but now it's a knockout tie, so it's very different. Both teams will raise their level."<\/p>\nYou scored both Dortmund goals in the game against Barcelona in December 2024 \u2013 was that something very special? \n <\/b>"It is of course great to score against Barcelona \u2013 they are one of the top 10 teams in the world. That shows that you're capable of scoring against the best. But every goal is important, especially in the Champions League."<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/profis/2025/04/07/guirassy-iv/guirassy-iv/Guirassy-Tor.png\" data-assetref=\"Guirassy-Tor-1744022787158\"><\/p>\nRaphinha, Lewandowski and you \u2013 you're three of the top goalscorers in the Champions League. Does that mean the quarter-final will be a goal festival? \n <\/b>"I hope it will be a goal festival \u2013 but for us!"<\/p>\nWe've already spoken about Lewandowski. Is he a role model for you as a a goalscorer?  \n <\/b>"Yes, certainly \u2013 especially because of his longevity. He has had a great career, is 36 years old and is still one of the best goalscorers in La Liga. That shows his level. He is a great player \u2013 everyone knows that. He does not have anything to prove."<\/p>\nWhat do you believe his secret is?  \n <\/b>"I think it's hard work. He works hard, is always quick \u2013 so hard work, care, regeneration, nutrition. It all counts."<\/p>\nBarcelona have not yet lost a single game this year. They have won 11 of their last 12 matches.  \n <\/b>"The numbers speak for themselves. They're a great team and in top form. But we're focusing on ourselves, on BVB \u2013 and want to play the best game possible."<\/p>\nWhat is the mood in the team like prior to the quarter-final? And what does it mean to you to play a game like this? \n <\/b>"Like any footballer: you live for special moments like this. Many in the team have already played in a Champions League final \u2013 they want to experience it again. And that's precisely why you play football: to experience special matches like this, like a quarter-final. We're all very motivated to win the match." \n<\/p>\n","exportedType":"text/html"},"id":"editable-4e754267a6","prio":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"prio","title":"Prio (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"headline":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"headline","title":"Headline","multiValue":false,"value":"Serhou Guirassy prior to the quarter-final: \"You live for moments like this\"","exportedType":"text/plain"},"matchId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"matchId","title":"match id","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"data-layer":"{\"editable-4e754267a6\":{\"@type\":\"/apps/bvbweb/components/newssliderelements/editable\",\"linkUrl\":\"https://www.bvb.de/de/en/news/news-overview/news.html/2025/4/7/Serhou-Guirassy-prior-to-the-quarter-final-You-live-for-moments-like-this.html\"}}","author":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"author","title":"Author","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"teaserType":"relatedContent","match":{"multiLine":true,"dataType":"content-fragment","name":"match","title":"Related Match","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"alt":"Guirassy.png","externalId":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"externalId","title":"External ID (Clubplatform)","multiValue":false,"exportedType":"text/plain"},"displayOnHome":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"boolean","name":"displayOnHome","title":"Display in news wall on homepage","multiValue":false,"value":true,"exportedType":"boolean"},"url":{"multiLine":false,"dataType":"string","name":"url","title":"Vanity URL (LEAVE EMPTY FOR AUTOMATIC VANITY URL.

Marie Grothe headed home a Paula Reimann corner to make it 1-0 in the 13th minute. Dana Marquardt doubled the advantage to 2-0 following a Grothe assist in the 21st minute. Marquardt artistically converted Grothe's chest-height cross at the back post. Captain Grothe then scored her second goal of the game before the interval (32). She once again headed home from a corner-kick, but this time the delivery came from Ann-Sophie Vogel.<\/p>\nThe BVB women did not drop off in the slightest after the interval: the No. 49, Dana Marquardt, increased the Black & Yellows' lead with her second goal in the 49th minute and put the home team 4-0 up. Mia Bedarf's chipped ball to Marquardt in a central position in front of goal was successfully converted by the striker. Only a minute later, Nora Willeke added her name to the scoresheet: Vogel delivered a cutback to Willeke, who fired spectacularly into the far top corner of the goal (50). Willeke then made it half a dozen in the 51st minute, holding her nerve in a one-on-one battle with the goalkeeper and calmly slotting the ball into the bottom corner. Central defender Marina Jung then made it 7-0 in the 60th minute. Jung simply pulled the trigger from a good 20 metres out and hit the back of the net. Annika Enderle joined in the action three minutes later and lobbed the ball over the onrushing goalkeeper at full sprint. The 9-0 victory was completed by Finnja Schriek in the 85th minute, after Grothe had won the ball back from the Minden defenders and threaded it through to Schriek in the six-yard box.<\/p>\nNext week will see the BVB women first make an away trip to DJK TuS Körne in the Kreispokal. Kick-off at the Sportanlage Am Zippen is at 19:00 CEST on Thursday. That will be followed by the next match of their Westfalenliga campaign against DJK GW Amelsbüren on Sunday.
