Hansi Flick's FC Barcelona claimed a dominant 4-0 win over Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at Estadi OlÃmpic LluÃs Companys.
Raphinha opened the scoring in the 25th minute, followed by Robert Lewandowski, who netted two goals in the 48th and 66th minutes. Lamine Yamal rounded off the result with a goal in the 77th minute.
Flick spoke about the importance of player rotation in his post-match comments, particularly regarding Ansu Fati, who has had recent injury struggles. Flick stated, "It’s important for Ansu Fati to get minutes; he's training well, and he deserved to play." The coach also acknowledged the decision to rest Lamine Yamal, adding, "It was good for Lamine to rest and also for Ansu Fati to play."
Fati has faced several injury setbacks in recent years, including a serious knee injury in 2020 and a more recent hamstring issue in November 2024, which kept him out for several weeks. These injuries have limited his consistency and playing time, making his return to action an important step for both him and the team.
