Barcelona have taken a massive step towards an automatic spot in the Round of 16 of this season’s UEFA Champions League thanks to a wild 3-2 victory away to Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday night. After an uneventful first half the game was absolutely breathtaking in the final period, and Ferran Torres scored twice off the bench to give Barça their fifth straight League Phase win and move them to second place in the standings with two games to go.
FIRST HALF
The story of the first half was Barça’s dominance of possession not translating into real chances, as the Blaugrana did come close a couple of times and forced Gregor Kobel to make a few stops but never created a true, golden goalscoring opportunity.
