FC Barcelona 4-0 Borussia Dortmund
FC Barcelona edged closer to the UEFA Champions League semi-finals after thrashing Borussia Dortmund 4-0 on Wednesday night.
Inigo Martinez, Fermin Lopez and Raphinha were recalled to the Blaugrana starting line-up after the 1-1 draw with Real Betis over the weekend.
These two sides met in the League Phase earlier this season, with the LALIGA side running out 3-2 winners in Dortmund.
The Catalan giants got the breakthrough in the 25th minute when Raphinha bagged his 29th goal by turning home Robert Lewandowski's effort at the far post.
The lead was doubled shortly after the halftime break as Raphinha turned provider and headed the ball into the path of Lewandowski, who headed home at the far post against his former side.
The visitors were in cruise control as they went on to bag a third goal in the 66th minute as a well-worked counter-attack ended with Lopez teeing up Lewandowski, who slammed home his second goal of the night.
The fourth goal arrived with 13 minutes on the clock as Lamine Yamal latched onto a pass from Raphinha before poking the ball into the far corner to round off an emphatic win.
