FC Barcelona heads into the second leg of the 2024-2025 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals in a commanding position, following their emphatic 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on April 9.

What Does Barcelona Need to Advance?

With a four-goal advantage, Hansi Flick's team has several paths to secure a spot in the semifinals:

• Win or draw in the second leg
• Lose by up to three goals (e.g., 0-3, 1-4, 2-5)
• Lose by four goals , as long as they score at least once (e.g., 1-5, 2-6), since the aggregate score would still favor them

Only a 4-0 loss would send the match to extra time, and any defeat by five or more goals would result in elimination.

When and Where Is the Second Leg?

The second leg will be played on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund, Germany. Kickoff is scheduled for:

• 9:00 PM CET (local time)
• 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT (USA)

Who Would Be Their Next Opponent?

The winner of this tie will face the victor of the Paris Saint-Germain vs Aston Villa matchup in the semifinals. PSG holds a 3-1 lead from the first leg, with the return fixture also taking place on April 15.

With such a dominant first-leg performance and a solid advantage, Barcelona is well-positioned to return to the semifinals of the Champions League for the first time since the 2018-2019 season.
