Six years later, Barça is once again a Champions League semi-finalist. Suffering. And tough, but Hansi Flick's team was able to overcome all possible adversities, starting with a generally poor performance, one hat trick Guirassy's defeat and the feeling that the old ghosts of Roma and Liverpool were returning. But yesterday wasn't the day. Luck sided with the Blaugrana team, and between a second-half own goal from Bensebaini and the safety net of the first leg, qualification was possible (3-1, 3-5 on aggregate).

The Champions League, the competition that has so battered the fans' self-esteem in recent seasons, is now the engine that drives the hearts of all Barça fans with the greatest excitement. In a sluggish Lluís Companys stadium, on the most exciting night of the season, Barça defeated Dortmund (4-0) in the first leg of the quarterfinals and will travel to Germany with a significant goal advantage. Raphinha, Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal were the scorers on a night in which Fermín López catapulted a dynamite Barça attack. Last year's Champions League finalist was no match for a team advancing through Europe on a thrashing spree.
