Guirassy Scores A Hat Trick In Vain For Dortmund As Barcelona Advances To Champions League Semis

Serhou Guirassy and Borussia Dortmund did what no else has been able to in 2025 - they beat Barcelona. It still wasn't enough to reach the Champions League semifinals.

Guirassy scored a hat trick and still ended up on the losing side as Dortmund's 3-1 win over Barcelona - the Spanish club's first defeat of any sort since December - wasn't enough to prevent a 5-3 aggregate loss.

After being swept aside 4-0 in the first leg of the quarterfinal, Dortmund had nothing to lose Tuesday and attacked Barcelona from the start, leaving the visitors off-balance.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick, who has plenty of experience of facing - and beating - Dortmund from his time in the German league, said the passionate home crowd meant he'd expected a tough second leg despite his team's four-goal lead.

"I had a little bit of a feeling that something like this was coming," Flick told broadcaster Amazon Prime. "Today you have to say congratulations to Dortmund, they played a very good game, and congratulations to my team, they're in the semifinals."
