Personal analysis: Dortmund's performance in reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League is considered good. The team's overall strength is still somewhat behind the other teams, especially the lack of obvious core ball-holding players in the frontcourt. Adeyemi and Brandt are good at passing the ball in low-intensity games and in open play. Once the rhythm is reduced, their ability to break through and create opportunities will be significantly reduced. The two core shooters, Gittens and Girasi, are both speed-oriented players, and their footwork and ability to seize opportunities are still far behind top players. Barcelona's offensive ability is particularly strong. Yamal and Rafinha on the front line are very efficient in breaking through in one-on-one situations on the two sides. The team's midfielders and several players on the back line also have considerable advancement capabilities, which means that in most cases, Barcelona's front line personnel will not be less than the opponent's defensive personnel when actively attacking, and almost all Barcelona's team has shooting ability, which makes it easy for opponents to miss some areas once they focus on defending certain players. In addition, Barcelona's passing and rhythm change capabilities are very strong, and most opponents find it difficult to keep up with Barcelona's game rhythm. Barcelona's back line is relatively weak among several top giants. There is no obvious advantage in the header and physical confrontation in front of the goal. If it encounters a team that plays high, Barcelona's defense will be difficult.

In the first leg, Barcelona had a 4-goal advantage. It was basically difficult for Dortmund to turn the tables at home. The biggest problem was that Dortmund had little experience playing against top teams. They were not very good at controlling the rhythm on the field, especially in offensive tactics, except for high-position pressing. However, this style of play was easy to lose the ball and be counterattacked when facing a strong passing and controlling team. Barcelona scored the next 3 goals in the first leg in the same way. In this game, Dortmund's home conceded 0.5 goals, which was a bit low. It can be seen that the organization did not give much support to Barcelona. In the first round, Dortmund had several excellent scoring opportunities, but the forwards failed to seize the opportunities. In this game, Lao Li predicted that Dortmund's chance of being unbeaten at home would be relatively higher, and the score would be 2-1 or 2-2.
