Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said his team “can dream” ended the 10-year Champions League wait, but began a tough task against Dortmund in the quarter-finals.
Barcelona last time against Juventus in 2015, despite their impressive appearance in the season, they had to shine again to beat last year’s finalists.
Both sides met with former Bayern Munich boss Flick in Barcelona on Wednesday to prepare for the test.
He said: “I’m not interested in statistics or the past. I live here and now. Now and now.
“This is the biggest tournament in Europe and we want to have the greatest success.

“We can dream, but the players and coaches have to keep their pace. We have to study what we have achieved based on hard work, and that should not be the end.
“We have to give everything we have to keep moving forward. We want to stay unbeaten this year, but we have to do the best with very strong opponents.”
Barcelona’s final defeat came at the hands of Atletico Madrid before Christmas, who won seven straight games before then tied with Real Betis 1-1 last weekend.
Flick said they will enter the tie with confidence.
“I think we’re doing well in the Champions League,” he said.
“We know how to win away games, how to keep moving forward…I have confidence in the team. They look good.
“We’ve improved in many ways. We’ve responded well in the game. We’re ready for this draw.”
