After winning 4-0 in the first leg in Barcelona, Hansi Flick’s La Liga leading side now face Borussia Dortmund in Germany for the return leg at the Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday. The Catalan giants dominated the first match in Spain, thanks to the goals from Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and a brace from former Dortmund forward Robert Lewandowski, who will make his return to his former stadium, where he played from 2010 to 2014, marking one of the most successful eras of the iconic German team under former manager Jurgen Klopp. Barcelona are expected to make it to the semifinals and the top four of the UEFA Champions League where they will meet the winning team of the other quarterfinal between Inter and Bayern Munich, with the first leg scheduled on April 29-30 and the second leg one week later.

The first leg
FC Barcelona had a solid 4-0 win in their home stadium thanks to the early goal of Raphinha, followed by the brace of former Dortmund striker Lewandowski before the final goal scored by Spanish wonder kid Lamine Yamal, in one of the strongest performances of the side coached by Hansi Flick this season.
What FC Barcelona are saying
Former Bayern coach Hansi Flick spoke ahead of Tuesday’s game in the pre-match press conference. “I was very happy to win 4-0 in Barcelona, but tomorrow will not be an easy game. The team should enjoy what they’re doing, and we are ready to do it. We want to play well for ourselves and also for the travelling fans who always support us. We won’t let our concentration drop. We are only thinking about our game with Dortmund. The rest is for the future. We aren’t looking any further. Our idea of football is about always doing our very best. There is a lot of quality in our team and we always take things a game at a time. Playing Dortmund in the Champions League quarter finals at their stadium is always going to be difficult. We need 100% concentration.”
Predicted lineups
BVB XI: Gregor Kobel, Waldemar Anton, Emre Can, Ramy Bensebaini, Julian Ryerson, Carney Chukwuemeka, Pascal Gross, Julian Brandt, Daniel Svensson, Serhou Guirassy, Karim Adeyemi.
FC Barcelona XI: Wojciech Szczesny, Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha.
Player to watch
Raphinha, FC Barcelona — The Brazilian winger scored the opening goal of the first leg in Barcelona and has been impressive this season so far as he already scored 28 goals and provided 22 assists to his teammates in 46 games he played in all competitions, being one of the most active strikers of the year. His name has also emerged as one of the possible candidates for the 2025 Ballon d’Or but a lot will also depend on the team performances in these next weeks. If Barcelona will win the Champions League, he will clearly become one of the candidates for the most prestigious individual prize.
Storyline to watch
Lewandowski’s return to Dortmund — The Polish striker will make his comeback at the home Dortmund stadium where he played from 2010 to 2014, scoring 74 goals in 131 games and where he won two historic Bundesliga titles among other domestic trophies under the management of Klopp. Lewandowski, after playing for Bayern Munich from 2014 to 2022 moved to Barcelona in the summer 2022 where he immediately showed how important he was for for his new team. Lewandowski will face his past in what will likely be an emotional night for him.
Prediction
The Spanish giants are expected to win again after the solid 4-0 win of the first leg and should qualify easily for the semifinals where they will meet the winner of the tie between Inter and Bayern Munich. Pick: FC Barcelona 3, BVB 1.

Here’s how Seahawks plan to use Jalen Milroe in 2025, and it won’t be like Taysom Hill
Imagn Images The Seattle Seahawks have completely revamped their quarterback room this offseason, as they traded Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders, signed Sam Darnold in free agency, brought back Drew Lock, traded Sam Howell to the Minnesota Vikings and drafted former Alabama signal-caller Jalen Milroe in the third round at No. 92 overall. The rookie is not expected to compete with Darnold for the starting job, but you will see him take the field in 2025. "He's a unique, special athlete, special young man," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said, via ESPN. "We're going to develop him as a quarterback. But with that, he can add something special as we go."That "something special" is what Milroe provides as a runner. In fact, several coaches and scouts said they believe he is the best running quarterback they've ever seen -- better than Lamar […]

Thierry Henry criticizes Arsenal after Champions League semifinal loss to PSG: ‘A lot needs to be changed’
Getty Images Arsenal legend Thierry Henry was critical of the Gunners' performance in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals, arguing they made "so many mistakes" as Paris Saint-Germain registered a 1-0 win on Tuesday.The French champions scored the game's lone goal in the fourth minute, courtesy of Ousmane Dembele, which was reflective of the visitors' impressive early start.
