Borussia Dortmund will need a miracle of monumental proportions when they welcome Barcelona to Signal Iduna Park on Tuesday for the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final. After being thoroughly dismantled 4-0 in the first leg at Montjuïc, Dortmund's hopes of reaching the final four are hanging by a single, fraying thread.

Last week's first-leg demolition saw former Dortmund hero Robert Lewandowski net twice against his old club, while Raphinha and Lamine Yamal added to the punishment in a display of attacking dominance that echoed Barca’s golden-era front lines. Raphinha, in particular, equalled Lionel Messi’s club record for most goal involvements in a single Champions League campaign (19), highlighting just how lethal Hansi Flick’s new-look front three have become.

History doesn’t offer the hosts much hope. Out of 159 previous instances in which a team lost the first leg of a UCL knockout match by four or more goals, only one — Barcelona’s famous remontada against PSG in 2017 — went on to advance. Dortmund's own erratic form, especially at home where they’ve won just three of their last 12 matches, adds another layer of improbability.

They at least showed fight with a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga at the weekend, but the contrast with Barca couldn’t be starker. The Catalans are unbeaten in 2025 — 24 matches and counting — and are still on for a potential quadruple, having already claimed the Supercopa, while also reaching the Copa del Rey final and sitting clear atop La Liga.

Barcelona have also made the Signal Iduna Park something of a happy hunting ground, winning each of their last eight away games and extending their unbeaten streak on the road to 16 matches. They’re in complete control of this tie, and with two recent victories over Dortmund and a 4-1 thrashing of Bayern under their belts this season, there’s a growing aura of dominance when they face German sides.

Dortmund welcome Pascal Gross back from suspension, while Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck remain sidelined with knee issues. Niko Kovac is likely to return to a more attacking 4-2-3-1 shape, dropping a center-back in search of goals. Guirassy will lead the line, supported by Brandt, Adeyemi, and Gittens.

For Barcelona, Alejandro Balde is ruled out with a hamstring injury, meaning Gerard Martin should slot into left-back. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Casado, and Dani Olmo are also out, while Fermin Lopez is expected to retain his place in the number 10 role behind Robert Lewandowski.

While pride may push Dortmund to a couple of goals on home soil, Barcelona’s attacking efficiency and calm control under Flick should see them through comfortably. Expect an entertaining night in front of the Yellow Wall — but not a historic comeback. The Catalans march on to the semi-finals.

多特蒙德将在周二的欧冠1 / 4决赛第二回合主场伊杜纳公园迎接巴塞罗那，届时他们将需要一个巨大的奇迹。在首回合客场0 - 4惨败Montjuïc后，多特蒙德进入四强的希望已经岌岌可危。

在上周的首回合比赛中，前多特蒙德英雄莱万多夫斯基在对阵老东家的比赛中梅开二度，而拉菲尼亚和亚马尔则在进攻上展现了统治力，这让人想起了巴萨黄金时代的锋线。尤其是拉菲尼哈，他追平了梅西在欧冠单赛季进球最多的俱乐部纪录（19球），这凸显了汉斯·弗里克新组建的三前锋阵容是多么的致命。

历史并没有给东道主带来太多希望。此前有159支球队在欧冠淘汰赛首回合以4球或4球以上的差距输球，其中只有一支球队晋级，即2017年巴塞罗那对阵巴黎圣日耳曼的那场著名的雷蒙塔达。多特蒙德自己不稳定的状态，特别是在主场，他们在过去的12场比赛中只赢了3场，增加了另一层不可能性。

在上周末的德甲联赛中，他们至少以2比2战平了拜仁慕尼黑，但与巴萨的对比再明显不过了。加泰罗尼亚人在2025年保持不败——24场比赛，而且还在继续——并且仍然有可能四冠王，他们已经赢得了超级杯，同时也进入了国王杯决赛，并且在西甲联赛中遥遥领先。

巴萨也把信号伊杜纳公园球场变成了一个快乐的狩猎场，他们在过去的8场客场比赛中都取得了胜利，并将他们的客场不败纪录延长到了16场。他们完全控制着这场比赛，最近两场战胜多特蒙德和本赛季4-1大胜拜仁，当他们面对德国球队时，他们的统治感越来越强。

多特蒙德欢迎帕斯卡·格罗斯从禁赛中回归，而马塞尔·萨比策和尼科·施洛特贝克仍因膝伤缺阵。尼科·科瓦奇很可能会回到更具攻击力的4-2-3-1阵型，放弃一名中后卫来寻找进球。吉拉西将带队，布兰特、阿德耶米和吉滕斯将担任后援。

巴萨方面，巴尔德因腿筋受伤将缺席比赛，这意味着杰拉德·马丁将成为左后卫。特尔斯特根、卡萨多和奥尔莫也将缺席，而洛佩兹有望在莱万多夫斯基之后继续担任10号门将。

虽然骄傲可能会让多特蒙德在主场取得几个进球，但在弗里克的带领下，巴塞罗那的进攻效率和冷静的控制应该会让他们轻松度过难关。期待在黄墙前度过一个愉快的夜晚——但不是历史性的回归。加泰罗尼亚人挺进半决赛。
