That spells bad news for Frankfurt, who have lost their two Bundesliga games and aren't exactly renowed for their ability to score goals themselves. READ MORE.

The winner of this tie will set-up a semi-final against the victor in Lyon’s clash with West Ham United. In devastating form after a busy Janaury transfer window, Barca have the firepower to trouble pretty much any team in Europe. A resurgent Barcelona travel to Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday evening in the first round of their Europa League quarter-final.

But David Moyes has made West Ham tough. Powered by injustice after seeing Felix Zwayer dismiss Cresswell for fouling Moussa Dembele, the 10 men dug in and took ...

Gusto did not do enough to stop Fornals and when the Spaniard prodded the ball on to Boateng it ran through to Bowen, whose messy shot hit the Lyon defender and bounced over Lopes. Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice struggled to keep the ball away from Tanguy Ndombele and Thiago Mendes, although there was hope on the break. The striker’s touch had taken him away from goal, while Zouma was covering, and it felt ludicrous that there was no intervention from VAR. West Ham refused to let it happen. There were possibilities when Lyon played through Houssem Aouar and the opening goal almost arrived when Lucas Paquetá broke down the left, only for Dembélé to turn the Brazilian’s cross wide. After all, Lyon were Champions League semi-finalists two years ago and, although their domestic form has been inconsistent this season, they remain an accomplished team and it quickly became clear that they were capable of making life uncomfortable for West Ham.

Ansgar Knauff had given Eintracht Frankfurt the lead against Barcelona before being pegged back, while Bødo/Glimt beat Roma 2-1 in Conference League.

Frankfurt soaked up the pressure early on, hoping to hit Barça on the break, but were in danger after three minutes when Kevin Trapp tipped Torres’s shot over the bar. Marseille hold the same advantage over Greece’s Paok Salonika, despite playing the closing moments with 10 men after Gerson was sent off four minutes into added-on time. The sides then traded goals with Yira Sor giving Prague the lead in the 67th minute, only for Argentinian defender Marcos Senesi to equalise.

BERLIN, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Ferran Torres' equalizer clinched Barcelona a 1-1 draw with 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of Europa League's ...

"We knew that Frankfurt is a strong team, especially with their fans on home soil. We must build on this result in the second leg next week. Barcelona remained dangerous and came to a promising chance in the 17th minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired the ball from a tight angle into the side netting.

35-year-old rockets stunning goal of the year contender; Jose rages as minnows stun again.

Mourinho was not happy with the match being played on a plastic pitch, saying: “The first goal was ridiculous. People decided that European competitions can be played on plastic pitches.” Braga were unfortunate not to have won by more after Ricardo Horta hit the post while the same player had a 25th-minute goal chalked off by VAR after a foul on Ryan Jack in the build-up. The Foxes are hoping to reach the semi-finals of a European competition for the first time in their history, after also reaching the last eight of the 2016/17 Champions League. In the first leg of the third-tier European competition at the Stade Velodrome, the winger set up Gerson to put OM in front in the 13th minute before drilling home a second on the stroke of halftime. There have already been widespread appeals for the goal to be nominated for the Puskas award for goal of the season in world football.

Braga had a good plan and did what was needed after Abel Ruiz's goal put them ahead in the 40th minute, but they'll have to be careful in the second leg to ensure their lead is retained. He'd make up for it, however, scoring in the 41st minute to level things heading into the half. While Creswell won't be available for the second leg in France, West Ham have shown before that they can't be counted out of any match. It was a match that could've been a landmark victory for Frankfurt, but Tutu's dismissal in the 78th minute meant that they'd have to hold on for dear life in the latter stages. West Ham also struggled in their 1-1 draw to Lyon, but considering the circumstances, David Moyes will likely be happy with the result. Goals were hard to come by in the first legs of the Europa League quarterfinals, but red cards and drama were on display everywhere on a Thursday slate that was anything but boring.

Ferran Torres salvaged the draw in the second-tier European competition with an equaliser following a series of fluent passes around the box in the 66th ...

Ibrahim Traoré scored with a backheel shot in the dying seconds of injury time for Slavia Prague to earn a draw. Brazilian defender Tuta received his second yellow in the 78th minute and was ejected. The Norwegian club routed Roma 6-1 in the group stage for Jose Mourinho’s biggest loss as a coach. Barcelona was knocked out of the lucrative Champions League in the team’s first post-Lionel Messi season. Both sides hit the woodwork twice. Barcelona failed to win an away match in the Europa League for the first time after it was held 1-1 by 10-man Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of the quarterfinals.

A second-half equaliser by Ferran Torres rescued Barcelona on Thursday as the Spanish giants were held to a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt.

"Frankfurt were tough – they made things difficult. Braga were unfortunate not to have won by more after Ricardo Horta hit the post while the same player had a 25th-minute goal chalked off by VAR for a foul on Ryan Jack in the build-up. Frankfurt were reduced to 10 men for the final 12 minutes when Tuta picked up a second booking after a mistimed challenge on Pedri. The main thing was that we were patient and the reward was that we got a good equaliser." A second-half equaliser by Ferran Torres rescued Barcelona on Thursday as the Spanish giants were held to a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final. A second-half equaliser by Ferran Torres rescued Barcelona on Thursday as the Spanish giants were held to a 1-1 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt.

It was a hugely eventful night of Europa League action as the first legs of all four quarter finals were played out with both Barcelona and West Ham in the ...

Rangers will still fancy themselves to rescue the tie in the second leg but this was another underwhelming and disappointing showing. While there would have been hopes that they could have used that frustration to rally in Portugal, it was another low-key performance that has given them plenty of work to do for next week’s return leg in Glasgow. Lyon slowly began to dominate possession and the territory in the game, so it was no great surprise that they equalised midway through the second half. So furious was David Moyes with the incident, that he berated German official Felix Zwayer on his way off the pitch at the break – for which the Scotsman was booked. Yet despite plenty of eye-catching link-up play in the final third, Barca struggled to regularly breach the Frankfurt defence. Both were involved in a scintillating one-touch passing move which cut open Frankfurt’s defence and allowed Ferran Torres to run through on goal and slot home the equaliser.

Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men have no time to lick domestic wounds as they aim for another memorable night in Europe.

But I think this Rangers side is different, we’re different as well, and when you go as far as the quarter-finals, both teams are favourites. Kemar Roofe didn't quite inspire in his place on Sunday afternoon. Van Bronckhorst has options to tweak his line-up and that could mean a return to the starting XI for Glen Kamara.

The Ibrox men have a reunion with Braga two years on from when a Ryan Kent strike at tonight's venue clinched passage to the last 16.

Gio van Bronckhorst will hope to navigate two legs against Braga to face either the the Serie A or Bundesliga side.

However, from the following corner Orban would put the ball into the net to level the game with a deflection off of Atalanta man David Zappacosta. A moment of brilliance from Luis Muriel separates the side going into the second leg. The forward cut in from the right flank and shrugged off the challenges from the home defence, before unleashing a thunderbolt into the top corner.

Played before kick off in Europe's second biggest tournament, the composition has become widely recognisable for football fans across the continent.

Barcelona are playing for the first time in the Europa League and never won its precursor, the UEFA Cup, reaching the semifinals on four occasions.

Ibrahim Traoré scored with a backheel shot in the dying seconds of injury time for Slavia Prague to earn a draw. Brazilian defender Tuta received his second yellow in the 78th minute and was ejected. In the Europa Conference League, Roma, one of the favorites to win UEFA’s new third-tier competition, failed to get its revenge at Bodø/Glimt and lost 2-1.

Atalanta succeeded in cutting Leipzig's supply lines for much of the encounter, and will look to seize the game by the throat in the second leg, though their guests may have similar ideas. The first leg between Atalanta and Leipzig was deranged; both sides hit the woodwork twice, Leipzig had a penalty saved, and while it ended 1-1, it could easily have been 3-3, 4-4 or 5-5. The last time the Arsenalistas came to Ibrox, they went 2-0 up only to lose 3-2, and they may be inclined to go for broke again this time. A 1-1 draw in London looks like a good result on paper, but Lyon returned to France with some regrets, having failed to establish a lead despite being up against ten men for the whole of the second half. "It's a one-goal difference," shrugged Giovanni van Bronckhorst after his team's narrow defeat in Portugal. "[In the second leg, we are] at home, with the ground behind us. They did not get an easy ride in the first leg against Frankfurt, but the Bundesliga side will expect no mercy at Camp Nou. As Barça's German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen put it, "For the return leg, we know exactly what to do."

Oliver Glasner's team continued to play with a low block and were punished in the 66th minute as Torres beat Trapp with a low shot after a one-two with Frenkie De Jong, who had just come on.

RANGERS were caught between a rock and a hard place at The Quarry. Time will tell if this result is the foundation for success or the night that saw…

The Dutchman would switch to a back three – as John Lundstram dropped deeper from his midfield starting spot – at the beginning of the second half. Just seconds later, VAR came to the rescue for Rangers as Andre Horta’s effort was disallowed for a foul on Ryan Jack. Allan McGregor was beaten to his left and Braga had the goal that had been coming. They had been a noticeable, unmissable, presence in the city centre throughout the day, and were now making themselves heard as the action got underway. As supporters headed for the exits and sad farewell to Portugal, they could do so with hope in a tie that is very much in the balance. This was a very different occasion off the park and challenge on it.

“But still we have all to play for next week and we know at home, at Ibrox we can have the result we want.

Atalanta and Leipzig meet in Bergamo for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final level at 1-1.

• New boss Jesse Marsch was in charge for the start of this season's UEFA Champions League campaign, but defeats at Manchester City (3-6), at home to Club Brugge (1-2) and in Paris (2-3) scuppered their chances of a third successive knockout phase appearance. • The German side's away record in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase is W2 D1 L1, with nine goals scored and eight conceded. • This is Atalanta's first appearance in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, their only previous involvement in the competition's knockout phase having been cut short on entry by Dortmund four years ago. • Atalanta finished third in last season's Serie A to complete a hat-trick of qualifications for the UEFA Champions League group stage. The Bergamo side's only other UEFA contest with a German club came in the 1990/91 UEFA Cup third round, when they beat Köln 2-1 on aggregate (1-1 a, 1-0 h). They are therefore unbeaten at home to German clubs (W2 D1). • A pulsating first leg in Leipzig ended with both clubs scoring once and twice striking the frame of the goal.

Barcelona's quest to win a first UEFA Europa League remains on track as they host Eintracht Frankfurt in the second leg of their quarter-final after a 1-1 ...

• Barcelona claimed a dramatic 3-2 Liga win at Levante on Sunday, substitute Luuk de Jong scoring an added-time winner after the Catalan side had conceded three penalties – two of them converted. • Opposing goalkeepers Marc-André ter Stegen and Kevin Trapp have both been capped at international level by Germany, most recently in last month's friendly against Israel, when the latter replaced the former at half-time. • Barcelona have failed to score in four of their last seven European home games, winning just one of them and losing three – all by three-goal margins. No German side has ever won the UEFA Europa League. With three wins and a draw on their European travels this season, the German club's all-time away record in the competition proper is now W11 D5 L4. • Aubameyang was a Borussia Dortmund player from July 2013 to January 2018, scoring 141 goals in 213 matches. That made Eintracht's all-time record in UEFA quarter-finals W4 L5, ending a run of four straight aggregate defeats. They did, however, claim a record-extending 31st victory in the Copa del Rey, beating Athletic Club 4-0 in the final. • That ended Barcelona's three-game losing run against German opposition – all against Bayern – in which they had conceded 14 goals and scored just two. • Barça have met German opposition in 21 previous knockout ties, including finals, winning 15 of them. Eintracht's two-legged knockout record against Spanish clubs is now W3 L0. Eintracht ended the game with ten men following the 78th-minute dismissal of Brazilian defender Tuta.

Rangers' long unbeaten record against Portuguese clubs ended at Braga as the Scottish champions seek to reach their first European semi-final in 14 years.

• Braga have won all 12 previous UEFA ties in which they travelled to the second away leg holding a lead, maintaining that flawless record against Monaco last month in the round of 16. • The wins against Sheriff and Monaco brought Braga into the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals for the third time. • This is the only one of the four UEFA Europa League quarter-final ties in which the teams have previously met, Braga and Rangers having been paired together once before, in the 2019/20 round of 32. • This is Rangers' first appearance in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, the victory over Crvena zvezda having come after three previous round of 16 failures. Carlos Carvalhal's side also reached last season's UEFA Europa League round of 32, where they lost 5-1 on aggregate to Roma. They then overcame Moldovan champions Sheriff 3-2 on penalties in February after both teams had won their home leg 2-0 before coming out on top in the round of 16 against Group B winners Monaco (2-0 h, 1-1 a).

All is to play for between Lyon and West Ham as two teams who knocked out former winners in the round of 16 meet in France after drawing 1-1 in England.

They have won just three of their last 11 UEFA Europa League and UEFA Cup games outside England (D2 L6), although those include this season's group stage victories in Zagreb and Vienna. In each of their last two continental campaigns, in 2015/16 and 2016/17, they were eliminated in the UEFA Europa League qualifying phase by Romanian club Astra Giurgiu. They have, however, won three of the last five, including this season's 3-0 successes against Brøndby and Sparta. Their record at home in the UEFA Europa League knockout phase is W7 D2 L2, with wins in all four matches in 2016/17, when they reached the semi-finals. • The East Londoners won the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1964/65, beating 1860 München 2-0 in the Wembley final, and would reach the semi-finals, final and quarter-finals of that same competition over the next 16 years. • Lyon finished the 2020/21 Ligue 1 campaign in fourth place, seven points behind champions LOSC Lille, to return to European competition after a rare season's absence as direct qualifiers for the UEFA Europa League group stage. • West Ham survived a red card for defender Aaron Cresswell just before half-time to hold Lyon 1-1 at the London Stadium in the first leg.
