Unhappy hero of the BVB this Tuesday evening, with a hat-trick against Barça (3-1) but an elimination in the quarterfinals (0-4 defeat in the first leg), Serhou Guirassy experienced a contrasting evening. The Guinean is, anywhere, the only top scorer in the competition.
He posed a permanent danger on Catalan goals this Tuesday evening. And his hat-trick against Barça in the quarterfinals return of the Champions League (3-1) would naturally have offered him the right to have a statue in front of the Iduna Park signal in the event of BVB qualification. Unfortunately, Serhou Guirassy, despite his overflowing activity, could not prevent the elimination of Dortmund against the Blaugranas (0-4 in the first leg, 3-1 on the return).
Penalty, head, law missile … Guirassy showed all his palette against Barça
From the 11th minute, after a penalty given to the Germans on a gross fault by Szczesny on Gross, it was he who took responsibility for transforming the offering. Proof of his serenity, the Guinean went to slide a small subtle stung ball into Spanish goals and shudder with an excitement a whole stadium (1-0, 11th).
Upon returning from the locker room, it was still the 29-year-old striker who distinguished himself from a nice whim on a Bensebaini discount to raise the temperature of a few degrees (2-0, 49th). Unfortunately, his Central Defense teammate, decisive passer five minutes earlier, started to the fault by sending the leather in his own goals to a center from the right of Fermin Lopez (2-1, 54th), suddenly calming the ardor of the crowd.
But the supporters of the Ruhr club asked only to vibrate again, and a quarter of an hour from the term, it is still and always Guirassy who took advantage of a very badly returned ball in the area by Araujo to register a hat-trick with a right foot missile (3-1, 76th).
This new air call to the Catalan goals was unfortunately not effective for the Germans, who placed arms, not without having fought. As for the unhappy hero of this evening, he will be able to console himself by saying that he temporarily takes on the ranking of the best scorers in the Champions League alone with his 13 units (ahead of Raphinha, 12 goals) in 14 games, not to mention his five assists. A C1 campaign, in any case, more than successful for the Guinean.
“I am proud, because we had a nice meeting I think,” he said at the microphone of the Prime Video diffuser. “The supporters saw beautiful game. The 4-0 in Barcelona was a little too much to go up, but we believed it to the end,” said the Guinean.
