The "miracle" did not appear.

Barcelona are the “kings of reverses” when they have been overturned twice, despite having a big advantage after the first leg of the Champions League knockout round. That is the basis for Dortmund to expect a comeback at Signal Iduna Park in the second leg. However, the 4-goal gap in the first leg was too big for Dortmund to overcome. The “miracle” did not appear and the German team had to stop here despite their victory.

Historically, only Barcelona has ever successfully come back from a 4-goal deficit in the Champions League knockout round. Specifically, in the 2016-17 round of 16, after losing to PSG 0-4 in the first leg, Barca made a miraculous comeback with a 6-1 victory in the second leg at home. However, after creating that great comeback, Barca became the "victim" in 2 consecutive seasons. That was in the quarter-finals of the 2017-18 season, it seemed that AS Roma would raise the white flag after a 1-4 defeat at the Nou Camp, but in the second leg at the Olimpico, the Italian team "suppressed" their opponents with a strong playing style. The Italian team scored 3 goals to equalize the score 4-4 and advance thanks to the away goals rule. 1 year later, Barca has not learned any lesson. In the 2018-19 semi-finals, the Catalan team beat Liverpool 3-0 in the first leg but collapsed completely at Anfield with a 0-4 defeat. This time, coach Hansi Flick and his team "learned deeply" from their previous failures in the second leg of the quarter-finals in Germany to win the right to continue with a final score of 5-3.

On the other hand, Dortmund's form has been quite inconsistent since the start of the season. Their 8th place in the Bundesliga rankings somewhat reflects that. Since the beginning of March, Dortmund have played 9 matches but have only won 4, drawn 2 and lost 3. Last weekend, they struggled to hold Bayern Munich to a draw after conceding two consecutive goals in the second half. Especially after a heavy 0-4 defeat at Estadi Olympic Lluis Companys in the first leg, Dortmund's chance of a comeback was almost impossible. Therefore, the "miracle" did not happen for Dortmund even though they played at the "holy land" Signal Iduna Park with the cheers of tens of thousands of home fans. The ticket to the next round belonged to the Catalan "giant".

As we know, at home nearly a week ago, Barca crushed Dortmund with a score of 4-0. Although almost winning a ticket to the semi-finals, coach Hansi Flick is still very cautious. The proof is that in the press conference after the first leg, he affirmed that "Barcelona never thought that they were sure of their place, because there was still the second leg, where anything could happen. Therefore, entering the match, the Catalan giants approached the match quite cautiously. As for Dortmund, they clearly showed their determination for a "great comeback" like their opponents had done. The 2 goals for the German team came in the 11th minute of the first half and 49th minute of the second half, both by Guirassy, ​​bringing full hope to Dortmund. However, just 5 minutes later, Barca scored a goal to shorten the gap from an own goal by Bensebaini. In the 76th minute, Guirassy completed his own hat-trick, helping Dortmund raise the score to 3-1. This was also the final result of the match.

So Dortmund can only achieve half of the "miracle", the 3-1 victory is not enough for them to turn the tables. Barca won the ticket to the semi-finals. Inter Milan or Bayer Munich - the opponents waiting for them in the semi-finals will be opponents that cannot be underestimated, as both are very strong at this time. Barcelona needs to overcome this obstacle if they want to continue towards the "treble" this season.
