On Wednesday, April 9, Barcelona convincingly defeated Borussia Dortmund at home in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal. However, in the final minutes, an event occurred that could cause concern for the Catalan fans.

Details: Just a few minutes before the end of the match, Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal asked the coaching staff to substitute him. In the 85th minute, he left the pitch and was replaced by Ansu Fati. However, it's unclear what exactly happened and why Yamal requested the substitution.

In this match, Yamal scored a goal. He found the back of the net in the 77th minute, and it became the fourth goal of the game.

Additionally, Lamine Yamal became the first player in Champions League history to play 20 matches before turning 18. He debuted in the tournament last season and has since recorded 3 goals and 2 assists.

Reminder: This is the first leg between Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund. The return leg in Dortmund will take place next week.
