<p>Flick’s side were in ruthless form at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, asserting their authority in the tie with a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-vs-borussia-dortmund-raphinha-robert-lewandowski/bltfb3f6975df30bd16" target="_blank">commanding first-leg performance</a>. The attacking trio of Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski proved far too much for Dortmund to handle, delivering a performance that<a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/raphinha-emulates-lionel-messi-barcelona-matches-argentine-superstar-inspires-champions-league-win-dortmund/bltf2a9011576a2e2b5" target="_blank"> left the visitors reeling </a>and put Barcelona in pole position to progress to the semi-finals, where they will meet either Bayern Munich or Inter Milan.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Despite the celebratory mood, concern rippled through the home crowd late in the second half when Yamal, who had played a pivotal role throughout the game, gestured toward the bench, requesting to be substituted. Ansu Fati replaced the young forward, prompting speculation about a possible injury that could impact Barcelona’s crucial run-in.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>However, following the game, manager Flick insisted Yamal was not injured but did admit fatigue was an issue for a player who has been a virtual ever-present for club and country this season.</p><p>"Yes, he's fine,” Flick confirmed when asked about the forward. “He has played too many minutes. We have a very good relationship. First, he told me he wanted to play the whole game, and then, he didn't. Ansu would have played anyway; he deserved it.”</p>

WHAT FLICK SAID

<p>Yamal is expected to be available for Barcelona’s upcoming domestic fixture against a struggling Leganes on Saturday night. Flick's side then then head to Germany for the second leg against Dortmund, where Barcelona will look to complete the job and advance to the Champions League semi-finals.</p>
