00:00Welcome to Dortmund and the magnificent BVB Stadion for a very tasty tussle between two
00:14former Champions League winners as Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona meet. It is an encounter
00:23between two of the most storied names in European football history and their present-day situation
00:29in this competition is pretty decent as well. Both sides sitting on 12 points in this season's
00:37new-look league phase with the pair both comfortable 3-0 victors in their Matchday 5 fixtures.
00:49A magnificent stadium, a wonderful atmosphere and a very tasty tussle between two teams
00:56towards the top of the Champions League league phase. It is Borussia Dortmund in the yellow and black
01:03against Barcelona in the traditional red and blue. It's Girandeville a surprise inclusion tonight.
01:10Koundé, Lewandowski is after that, Schlotterbeck in his way so he goes back to Jamal, now it's Lewandowski. The flexion
01:24might work out here for Barcelona, Koundé is up to it and Koble gets down well.
01:31Again, another one for Gregor Corvall that you expect him to save. Decent save.
01:37Gittins, Reina, oh and Girassi! What a save from Peña!
01:44Huge save from Peña there, absolutely brilliant. Girassi with a flag for offside in the end but that's a big, big save.
01:51The keeper doesn't know it, Geassi. Again, the linesman, absolutely spot on again. What a save. Absolutely world-class.
02:0216 goals for club and country in the last 20 games that he's played.
02:08Nearly Shaheen confused as to how that ball didn't go in.
02:12Reina looks offside to me, or maybe Zavica wasn't. Gittins and Girassi! Flag goes up.
02:27You always felt it was coming and I think that Seru Girassi did to a bit of a smile from Nuri Shahin. I don't think he's surprised either.
02:36Yeah, I think he knew himself, Girassi, that they're on the offside position.
02:43Dani Olmo brings it forward as well. They've got numbers here. Rafinha's through and Rafinha scores!
02:51Unerring finish. No flag for now. And Barcelona in front. Rafinha doing it against the German side once again.
03:01A hat-trick against Bayern. And now the opener at Dortmund. It will be checked, of course.
03:08But for now, it's Dortmund nil. Barcelona one.
03:12Rafinha there does make no mistake with the shot there. It looked like Dortmund plays just stopped.
03:17We'll see it again on the replays to see whether or not Rafinha's held his line long enough.
03:22Schlotterbeck, that's a really tight one. It's going to be an interesting call, this one.
03:27But when Rafinha gets on one-on-one, he has a chance to lay it square. Instead, goes for it himself.
03:32Koble just on his heels gets caught out. Rafinha, great finish.
03:37Zabitzer. Mecha. Back to the Austrian. Zabitzer's ball in. Gitten's arriving. And again, they're appealing for it. And getting a penalty!
03:53It's a yellow card for Koubasi as well. And Borussia Dortmund have a way back into the game from the penalty spot for this challenge.
04:10Seru Girassi scores! A dead eye strike from Seru Girassi to draw Dortmund level.
04:22Peña went the right way, but wasn't ever really going to be able to keep that out. It was so well struck.
04:29And it's such a good response from Dortmund to falling behind. Dortmund won. Barcelona won.
04:36What a cool penalty from Girassi there. Real power, real direction. Peña had no chance whatsoever.
04:42He was probably the calmest and coolest man on the pitch there, Girassi. Big, big moment. Big goal for Dortmund.
04:52Jamal. And Zibani blocked him off, and he's found Koundé, who digs out the cross.
04:58Kerbal makes the save. But on the rebound, Ferran Torres is there to put Barcelona back in front.
05:07Talk about an impact sub. On for a matter of minutes. He's restored Barcelona's advantage.
05:16Kerbal made a great save initially, but couldn't do anything about Torres on the follow-up.
05:22And it's Dortmund one, Barcelona two. Yeah, it's a really disappointing one for Gregor Korbel.
05:28He makes a really good save on the initial shot on goal.
05:31But Ferran Torres has just come on, like you said, in a perfect position.
05:35Scored twice his last three games, make that three in his last four.
05:39Really good position. You can see there he's clearly onside.
05:42It's just unfortunate. Kerbal, it falls directly to him. It's a simple tap-in.
05:52We have to go back to November of 2021 for the last time that Borussia Dortmund were beaten in the Champions League here.
06:00They might still manage to avoid defeat. Guirassi, they are back level.
06:07Seirou, Guirassi at the double for Dortmund. And for the second time tonight, they've come from behind to level.
06:18Could be absolutely perfect for Dortmund. It's the run of Barcelona in this occasion.
06:22I think it was a perfectly timed run through. Guirassi was clearly offside initially.
06:27Then keeps himself onside. We'll see now Barcelona losing the ball in a dangerous position.
06:32A sloppy pass. And you can see, I think it's Pascal Gros. Perfect run. Look at that.
06:37Absolutely perfect. He's the one that's through. Lays it off to Guirassi.
06:41He's clearly onside. And all he has to do is find the open goal. And he does it. Coolly again.
06:47There will be trouble here for Dortmund. Jamal. Oh, beautiful ball. Torres! It's in!
06:58Brutal from Barcelona on the counter-attack to turn it around and lead once again.
07:07Dortmund on their knees. Barcelona all smiles for the third time.
07:13And they have done so in devastating fashion.
07:18Absolutely sublime from Barcelona there. Counter football was absolutely excellent.
07:24Of course, Dortmund have made it easier for them. Pascal Gros' ball slightly over hit.
07:29Gittens doesn't react. Tries to get back. This ball from Jamal is absolutely brilliant.
07:35Torres has a lot to do. Takes his time. Sets it. Finds that far corner. Brilliant finish.
07:40Devastating blow for Dortmund. Two goals in ten minutes for Ferran Torres.
07:49Coble's clearance. Sammitsa chasing. Kunde underneath it. Sammitsa stuck out a leg. Gittens.
07:59Now or never for Dortmund. They've got a free kick. And this will be their last chance.
08:05Yeah, it's a silly free kick to give away for Barcelona there.
08:09Cobalt's up there. In from Kroos. Oh, and over the top. Schlotterbeck with the chance.
08:16But he couldn't keep it down. Agony for those. And Barcelona are surely going to get the win now.
08:22That's a really tight line as well. He lands really awkwardly. Hopefully he's not bad there. You can see. Oh dear.
08:31That is a really bad landing on his ankle. Lands on the toe of his foot. There's a big chance for Dortmund.
08:38You can see. Winter's in pain straight away. And there is the full-time whistle. Barcelona have managed to bag the victory.
08:51Well, Nuri Shahin will see this as a badly missed opportunity. And insult added to injury for them here with Schlotterbeck down and in need of some attention.
09:20Yeah, it looked very, very nasty for Schlotterbeck. Hopefully it's nothing too serious. But I fear for that one. It looks very, very painful.
09:29A sour end to what has been a superbly entertaining evening. And it finishes. Borussia Dortmund 2, Barcelona 3.
09:39Come back to that one. But I fear anything. But there is no wonder inside the team.
09:44Peace.
09:45Let's go to that one.
09:46So let's go to that one.
09:47That's a very easy time.
09:49We'll see you next time.
09:52Go to that one.
09:53The right one.
09:54The right one.
09:55To the right one.
09:56Let's go to that one.
09:57It will be gone.
09:58All right.
09:59To the right one.
10:01To the right one.
10:02To the right one.
