KICK OFF!
The game begins. Dortmund have the kick off and here we go.
15' Four shots for Barcelona within the first 15 minutes. It has been a good start for the home side but Dortmund are holding fort and have managed to keep the Barca attackers at bay so far. But for how long?
25' GOAL!
Pau Cubarsi finds the net and Barcelona get the much deserved lead in just the 25th minute. Oh wait. The goal goes to Raphinha who touched the ball on the goal line. Can't blame Raphinha, he's a forward. a shade before the ball, and his touch would have left the goal invalid.
BAR 1-0 BVB
The one minute of added time is over and we had back for a break. An interesting first half so far. Barcelona have taken the lead which they threatened to do right from the first whistle. Dortmund have had a few chances but they have not been able to break through Barca defene.
Second half begins in Camp Nou. Can Dortmund find a way to level scores or Barcelona will find ways to score?

48' GOAL!
Robert Lewandowski scores. Raphinha with a beautiful cross into the box and Lewandowski gets his header from close range into the net. Barcelona take off and they have got a perfect start to the second half.
66' GOAL!
Barcelona triple their lead and Dortmund have absolutely no answers. Robert Lewandowski gets his second of the night and Barca just keep goingon. Brilliant shot from the Polish striker who gets the ball into the bottom right corner and Barcelona celebrate.
77' GOAL!
The night just keeps getting worse for Dortmund. A brilliant counter attack from Barca and they have made it 4-0 in their favour. Lamine Yamal is the scorer this time as he runs onto a pass from Raphinha to smash the ball into the net. The game is as good as over not it seems.
FULL-TIME!
There comes the final whistle and Barcelona win the game 4-0. What a game for the Spanish side and Dortmund will go home really, really worried as their European stint might be coming to an end.
A totally one-sided win for Barcelona and Dortmund were thoroughly outplayed tonight. 4-0 is what the scoreline says and it could have been even worse. Barcelona, thus, take big step towards the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. Raphinha scored in the 25th minute but it was not until after the break that the goals really started to come. Lewandowski struck twice and then Yamal found the net as well to make things worse for Dortmund whose hopes now are as good as over.
The second leg of this clash takes place on Tuesday, April 15 (April 16 IST).
