Champions League: Barcelona lose 3-1, but will face Inter or Bayern Munich | OneFootball

If Inter go through to the Champions League semi-finals, then they will be up against Barcelona, who qualified this evening despite a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

The Nerazzurri have a 2-1 first leg lead against Bayern Munich in their quarter-final, so by avoiding defeat at San Siro on Sunday, it will be enough to book their spot in the last four of the tournament.

Barcelona will be waiting for the winners of this tie, having already secured their ticket for the semi-finals.

Tougher than expected for Barcelona

Having won the first leg 4-0, it was meant to be a mere formality, but that was certainly not the case in Germany.

Borussia Dortmund emerged with a 3-1 victory on the night, as Serhou Guirassy bagged a hat-trick on the night.

Just as they were pushing hard to reopen the tie, Barcelona got a stroke of luck with the deflection off Ramy Bensebaini beating his own goalkeeper.

Barcelona ultimately went through 5-3 on aggregate and will face either Inter or Bayern Munich.

The first leg of the semi-final will be in Catalunya, so Inter could get the second leg at home.

The other semi-final will be between Paris Saint-Germain and either Arsenal or Real Madrid.
