On Wednesday, in the Champions League quarter - final first leg, Barcelona comprehensively defeated the visiting Borussia Dortmund 4 - 0. Robert Lewandowski scored two goals against his former club, giving the Catalan side a significant edge.

Barça, unbeaten since late December and aiming for a treble, predictably took control in the early stages. Raphinha's goal in the 25th minute put them ahead. For the remainder of the first half, a series of saves by Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel prevented Barcelona from adding more goals.

After the break, Barcelona came out with greater determination. Just three minutes in, Raphinha assisted Lewandowski, who headed the ball in from close range to score their second goal.

"I believe we played extremely well. However, we're not thinking about the semifinals just yet. We need to maintain the same focus and mindset that have got us this far," Lewandowski told Movistar Plus. "It doesn't matter where we play or what the game is; we always strive to play our brand of football with the same level of commitment."

"Our mindset is always going for the win and that is how we will play at Dortmund. We have to go there and play as well as we did today or even better."

Barcelona have enjoyed an incredible 23-game unbeaten run across all competitions and are the only team in Europe's top five leagues yet to lose in 2025, while still in the running to win three titles.

On Wednesday, Dortmund keeper Kobel denied Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal from close range, but there was little he could do when Raphinha fired over the goal line in the 26th minute.

After the break, Yamal made an impressive run from the right wing before lifting a cross toward the back post for Raphinha to head back across goal, leaving an unmarked Lewandowski to nod over the line from inches out.

After that Dortmund succumbed to Barca's power and, following Fermín López stroke off the post, Lewandowski extended their lead with a bullet strike and Yamal rounded off the rout with a tidy finish from a quick counter.
