Barcelona defeated Borussia in its field in the first match of the Champions League 1/4 finals. The wards of the Hans-Diter Flick upset Gregor Kobel four times, and not a single goal did without the participation of representatives of the attacking trio of Rafinya-Lamin Yamal-Robert Lewandovsky. In turn, Paris Saint-Germain owned a ball of 75% of the time and inflicted 29 strokes on goal, but only in the second half he broke the resistance of Aston Villa. The hosts responded to the exact hit of Morgan Rogers Dizer Duez and Khvichi Kvratshelia, and the final score was established by Nonu Mendesh. Parizhesky tests of the second pair of quarterfinal matches of the Champions League had a lot in common, because they participated in them the most discussed commands, if not the whole season, the spring segment for sure. Barcelona deserved this title thanks to the phenomenal win -win series of 22 meetings, which allowed her not only to break into the Spanish Cup final, but also to seize leadership in the example. “Paris Saint-Germain” delighted everyone in the 1/8 finals of the European Cup, where he literally moved the main favorite-“Liverpool”. At the general stage, the Merseysidians were uncontrollable and won seven victories in a row, but could not contrast anything in the Parisians, led by Usman Dembele. The conducting the best segment in his career, the French Winger already managed to prick 32 goals in all tournaments, and 24 of them in the 2025th calendar year. No less in advance to sing praises and call Luis Enrique’s wards the main favorites of the Champions League was reckless. And although the confrontation with Aston Villa could hardly be called a litmus piece of paper (the difference in the level of performers still seemed too large), it still seemed to be a check. And it was supposed to demonstrate whether PSG is able to demonstrate his level not in pairs of top matches, but at a distance. Also, on the topic, the Double of Rice from the penalty area and the Martinez masterpiece: Arsenal defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League, “Inter” pulled out the victory from Bavaria “Arsenal” at the house “Real” in the first match of the Champions League 1/4 finals. The wards of Michel Arthet sent three unrequited goals to … What could help Aston Ville to give a sensation? Unless the absence of disqualified Markinos and the “championship hangover” of rivals, on the weekend to the record, 13th time taking the France championship. But in the first minutes it was not felt. Paris Saint-Germain terrorized the opponent’s defense and forced the best goalkeeper in the world over and over again. In the first ten minutes of Emiliano, Martinez did not allow Vitigne and the same Dembele, and a little later, he also coped with the distant “shot” of Ashraf Khakim. But there were still attempts by Khvichi Kvratshelia and Nunu Mendes, who did not have enough accuracy. More closer to the middle of the half, the attacking impulse of the hosts faded a little, and the guests became carefully, but threatened with counter -discharge. The first approaches to the possessions of Dzhanluji Donnarumma left much to be desired, but already in the 35th minute what the fans of the red-blue were so afraid of. John Mcginn took advantage of Mendesh’s sluggishness in the center of the field and completed the cast on the left flank. Marcus Rashford threw Yuri Tilemans to breakthrough, and he found Morgan Rogers with a luxurious transverse pass. It remained only to break past the goalkeeper that had seen on the line and open an account that he did. In the air, the next fiasco Parisians smelled, and the stands “Park de Prens” were deafeningly. And they could be understood, because their favorites risked losing the team of Unai Emeri, a former PSG coach, who had once failed in the capital of France and became one of the involuntary creators of the legendary Remantada. But four minutes later, the mood of local fans improved. Dezire Douis created a real miracle, incredible in beauty, the blow of the outfit by surprise Martinez. He turned out to be so powerful and strong that the Argentine did not really react and only looked with a glance that was flying into the grid from the crossbar of the ball. It was difficult to say that Emery was prompted to remove Matti Kesh during the break. Perhaps the naturalized Pole “ate” too much in the first half and was already unable to restrain the owners wingers. But Axel Disashi replaced him almost immediately created a bright highlight, but not his team. Kvratshelia mockingly removed the Frenchman on the sink, forcing him to feel himself Jerome Boateng in a duel with Lionel Messi, after which he struck the near nine. Martinez was again powerless. On the next 40 minutes, Paris Saint-Germain tried to break through the massive defense of Aston Villa and strengthen his advantage. But either Martinez acted great, or Enrique did not have enough accuracy or luck. As, for example, Hakim, whose goal was canceled due to the position of “outside the game.” But if in the main time the Argentinean goalkeeper could no longer be upset, then in compensated luck, she still smiled at the Parisians, who surpassed his visits on all aspects – at least take a look at the difference in the percentage of possession (75:25) and shots (29: 7). Mendesh was in the place of the attacker, removed the defender and corrected the error in the episode with the missed ball – 3: 1. The Catalan rink as for the Barcelona, it was also considered a clear favorite of the quarterfinal confrontation, although it was Borussia who approached him in the status of the current vice champion. But did someone believe in the ability of the “bumblebees” to repeat their last year’s success and again get to the decisive round? In less than a year, the Dortmund residents lost several important football players at once (including Doniella Malen who left for Aston Villa) and changed the three main coaches, and at the beginning of April they took only eighth place in the Bundesliga standings. And this is after two victories in a row-over the “Mainz” and “Freiburg”, who raised them from the 12th line. As and “Paris Saint-Germain”, “Barcelona” from the first minutes the assault on Gregor Kobel’s gate began. Lamin Yamal, who had a chance to take a double in a minute, was especially zealous. At first, he dangerously struck from the limits of the square after displacement to the center, and then – almost from the zero corner, having previously elegantly dealing with Rami Bensbainin. But in the first case, the goalkeeper worked beyond praise, and in the second Spaniard there was not enough accuracy. The Robert Lewandowski was close to the G., which was attached to the ball with all his strength after the transfer of Rafinya. But the Swiss was again on the alert and did not allow him to go under the crossbar. However, the Catalans did not slow down and already in the middle of the half came ahead. Iniigo Martinez responded to a canopy from the standard and fulfilled a discount on the goalkeeper, where Pau Kubarcy turned out to be the most quick. The defender of the hosts was ahead of the guardian and pierced the ball past the male, but did not get into the protocol. Literally on the ribbon of the “shell” touched Rafinya, who stole a goal from a partner, but not the whole team. After watching the video replacement of the offsayd, the Brazilian was not recorded. Little after that “bumblebees” finally began to “sting” in response and visit the enemy penalty. And although the first full-fledged blow to the target at the 40th minute was inflicted by Jamie Bayno-Hittens (by the way, not very dangerous), the brightest episode arose a little earlier. The Dortmunds drawed a wonderful combination and brought to the slaughter position of their best scorer, but in some incredibly, sulfur Girassi did not hit the ball. Although no one really interfered with him. Also, on the topic, Safonov was unlikely to be upset: Donnarumma reflected two penalties and helped PSG go through Liverpool in the Paris Saint-Germain Champions League away, a sensationly defeated Liverpool and went to the champion’s quarterfinals. Usman Dembele equalized the score in … what happened in the debut of the second half can hardly be called reckoning for the unrealized moment of Girassi – rather the next glimpse of the genius of the Catalan trio. The scoop of Yamal on Rafinhu already claimed the title of masterpiece, but what happened after was an excellent addition. The Brazilian, which was dependent in the air, luxuriously threw the ball to Lewandowski, who could only not miss the ribbon. “Barcelona” led 2-0 and practically demoralized “Borussia.” After this, the main intrigue was only whether Barcelona would be able to remove all the questions regarding the package in the semifinals already in this match or leave at least minimal hopes for the Cumback in the response. And by the 66th minute the answer was received. Superchive Fermin Lopez himself could distinguish himself more than once or twice, but in the end he helped to do this to Lewandowski. He calmly struck the holler under the supporting leg and designed a double, minimizing the lag behind Rafinya in the list of the best champions bombs (the Pole was on the Pole, the Brazilian – 12). And ten minutes later, the most young of the attacking three “Blagrains” lit his name on the scoreboard. Waldemar Anton rudely “cut off” and organized a raid on his own gate, which Yamal completed. “Borussia” demonstrated character and not only created a couple of good episodes in the end, but even found it by surprise. It seemed that this could give the wards of Nico Kovach forces, but the arbitrators rightly determined the offside and actually put an end to the attempts of the “bumblebees” to change the score on the scoreboard. Barcelona won a crushing victory (4: 0) and turned the exit to Dortmund into an empty formality.
