The Bundesliga side were handed a crushing 4-0 defeat in the first leg at the Camp Nou, where Barcelona&rsquo;s attacking trio of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal ran riot to all but seal La Blaugrana&rsquo;s spot in the semi-finals. <\/p><p>Dortmund, however, will not throw in the towel. Over the weekend, they earned a hard-fought point away at Bayern Munich. With their passionate home crowd behind them, Dortmund will be hoping to get an early goal and push Barca on the back foot. But with a four-goal deficit, they&rsquo;ll need something special.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#127897;&#65039; HANSI FLICK: &ldquo;The 4&ndash;0 win in the first leg gives us a big advantage, but tomorrow&rsquo;s match will still be tough.

The 28-year-old Brazilian forward has been in sublime form for Barcelona this season, delivering 28 goals and 20 assists in all competitions.
