Barcelona managed to demolish the Yellow Wall on Wednesday night in Dortmund, beating BVB 3-2 in extremis with two goals from Ferran Torres. The winner came courtesy of Lamine Yamal, a common theme this season, with Torres finishing wide of the corner.
After the game, Lamine Yamal spoke to the media and recalled that it was the same combination that almost gave the Blaugrana victory against Real Betis. Torres scored in the 86th minute at the Benito Villamarín, but the Blaugrana couldn’t hold on and conceded the tie in the 94th minute.
“We understand each other very well with Ferran. The same thing also happened the other day against Betis, in Seville,” he told Movistar+, as quoted by Sport.
“After Betis it was important to achieve victory in a field as important as this. We are very happy, because the team has been very good, in general. We had clear chances, in the second they dominated us a little more, but we knew how to suffer. And we had to take advantage of the opportunities.”
Ferran Torres has already scored in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. @sport

Lamine Yamal almost replicated another of his off-the-spot assists for Raphinha in the first half as well, with the Brazilian firing his shot wide of the post. Proving almost impossible to defend, the 17-year-old said it was not something he had specifically worked on.
“That pass comes naturally to me now. It’s a resource that’s been working very well for me lately, honestly. It comes naturally to me, it’s not that I do it constantly in training, it comes more or less on its own. And I told Rapha that I had it…”

Barcelona now sit second in the Champions League standings, with only Liverpool’s perfect record bettering theirs. They will face Benfica and Atalanta in their final two games, but all their attention will be focused on the two remaining League games of the year, at home to Leganés and then Atlético de Madrid. The Blaugrana have only one victory in their last 5 League games.
