Barcelona edged out Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in a thrilling Champions League encounter on Wednesday. Raphinha opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 53rd minute, but Dortmund’s Serhou Guirassy equalized from the penalty spot in the 60th. Ferran Torres restored Barça’s lead in the 75th, only for Guirassy to level again shortly after. In the 85th minute, a mistake by Dortmund’s Pascal Gross allowed Torres to complete his brace, securing the win for Barcelona.
“A very important victory in a very difficult field,” Barcelona goalkeeper Inaki Pena said on X after the match.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s struggles continued with a 2-0 loss to Juventus, leaving them just one point above the elimination zone. Juventus’ Dusan Vlahovic scored the opener in the 53rd, and Weston McKennie sealed the win in the 75th.
VfB Stuttgart came from behind to crush Young Boys 5-1. After Lukasz Lakomy’s early goal for Young Boys, Stuttgart equalized through Angelo Stiller. Then, three goals in 13 minutes from Enzo Millot, Chris Führich, and Josha Vagnoman turned the game in Stuttgart’s favor, with Yannik Keitel adding a fifth.
Young Boys’ Lakomy dedicated his goal to teammate Meschack Elia, whose son tragically passed away before the match, prompting Elia to leave the squad.
