In the early morning of April 17, Beijing time, the second leg of the Champions League 1/4 final was played first, and this game can be described as full of drama and excitement. Barcelona suffered a 1-4 defeat at home to Paris and a 4-6 aggregate comeback, while Atletico Madrid lost 2-4 away to Borussia Dort, exiting 4-5 on aggregate. At the same time, Paris and Dort managed to qualify, and the Champions League top 4 was born 2 places ahead of schedule.
Barcelona have been in excellent form of late, unbeaten in 13 games in all competitions, and have won six in a row, scoring 12 goals and conceding just three, including four clean sheets.
In this crucial match, Barcelona played at home and had a goal difference advantage, and had a good chance of qualifying. After the start of the game, Barcelona quickly broke the deadlock, Araujo split the ball near the center circle, Yamal forced a break through the bottom on the right, and then sent a cross, Raphinha grabbed the point and scored, Barcelona led 1-0! And Yamal, who was 16 years old and 278 days old, also became the youngest assister in the second leg of the Champions League knockout round. However, the turning point of the game came in the 29th minute, when Barcola won a one-man knife and Araujo, who was the last man in the defence, brought down the Paris striker and was sent off with a straight red card! Xavi made an emergency change, with Inigo Martinez coming on to replace Yamal to ensure a double centre-back pairing.
The numerical disadvantage gradually appeared, in the 40th minute, Balcola crossed from the left, Dembele pushed the goal from the right side of the penalty area, 1-1!
The other game was equally exciting, with Borussia Dort taking on Atletico Madrid. In this game, Dort scored two goals, with Brandt and Maatsen scoring one goal each in the 34th and 39th minutes respectively to take the lead. Atletico then launched a counter-attack, with Hummels own-goal in the 49th minute and Angel Correa in the 64th minute to equalize the score, but Dort did not give up, scoring two goals in the 71st and 74th minutes, and finally Phil Kruger and Sabitzer scored to help Dortmund beat Atletico Madrid 4-2 to 5-4 on aggregate and advance to the last four of the Champions League.

Let's take a look at the comments of netizens: Barcelona has one less person, and the defenders are too impulsive, otherwise Paris will definitely lose
I have a different opinion on the comments of netizens "Barcelona has one less person, the defenders are too impulsive, otherwise Paris will definitely lose". The outcome of a soccer match depends on a number of factors, including the overall strength of the team, the players' on-court performance, tactical arrangements and luck. In football, the negligence of any detail can make or break the outcome of the game.
In this game, although Barcelona have one less man, their overall strength is still very strong. The players in Paris also performed well, showing tenacity and skill in the game. Therefore, we cannot simply blame a player or a certain factor for the outcome of the game. Football is a team sport, and good results can only be achieved if the whole team works together.
It was a very exciting game and both teams showed their quality and characteristics. We should respect the hard work and dedication of each player, but we should also learn from the experience and lessons of the game and keep improving ourselves.
Personally, I think: It's a pity!
In my opinion, it was a shameful match. The situation of Barcelona with one man less undoubtedly had a certain impact on their overall strength, which put them at a relative disadvantage on the field.
The impulsive behaviour of the defenders is even more regrettable, as it could have changed the course of the game. In football, the duties of defenders are crucial, and they need to remain calm and composed to ensure the solidity of the defensive line.
If the defenders had been more calm about the situation, perhaps the outcome of the game would have been different. Originally, Barcelona may have had the opportunity to show more strength in the game, cause more problems for Paris, and maybe even win.
However, in reality, there are no ifs, and the outcome of the game cannot be changed. It also reminds us that the mentality and decisions of players are crucial when it matters most.
However, we can't just put the blame on the defenders. Football is a team sport and every player plays an important role in the game.
Despite the disappointing result, the game also taught Barca valuable lessons. They can reflect on their own shortcomings and further improve the team's strength and performance.
In future games, they may pay more attention to the mentality and tactical arrangement of the players to avoid similar situations from happening again. While the result of this match was regrettable, it also left a lasting impression on the team and the fans. Hopefully, Barcelona can learn from this experience, keep improving and achieve better results in future competitions.
