It was chaotic and messy at times, but it was also a game full of entertainment value.
A win against a Dortmund side who don’t make it easy for any opposition sides at Signal Iduna Park isn’t to be sniffed at, and indeed, it was their first home defeat in the Champions League since November 2021.
The way in which Barca’s win arrived was arguably something of a surprise too.
Ferran Torres has flattered to deceive throughout his Barcelona career, and has rarely justified his €55m price tag.
Perhaps that’s the sum total of the issue for culers - that they don’t believe the Spaniard is worth that kind of spend.
