A genuinely bizarre decision from Eric Garcia saw Frankfurt given a penalty in the first three minutes, which was brilliantly converted by Filip Kostic. He then ...

A full Camp Nou is expected, and having their fans behind their back will push Xavi’s side to a win. In front of the duo will be the team’s number nine, Rafael Borre. He will start in between the sticks. In attack, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will look to extend his goalscoring record in the high-pressure game. It has been the norm for Barcelona to underperform in the first leg of fixtures this season. The game is balanced heading into the second leg, and whoever wins in Catalonia will advance.

He clowns Filip Kostic on the wing and wins another free-kick for Barcelona. It comes to nothing, but the Frenchman is clearly on a mission to will the hosts back level. 20th min: Barcelona appeals for a penalty as Jordi Alba goes down in the box under an Almamy Toure challenge, but the referee waves it away. It's Rafael Borre who does it all, cutting in from the left and letting loose from a good distance outside the top of the box. Barcelona has an enormous flurry of touches in the Frankfurt penalty area, but despite the visitors' inability to clear, Barcelona cannot get a shot off. 67th min: GOAL! Frankfurt! It's over, Barcelona is crashing out of Europe, and it's a famous night for Eintracht Frankfrut. It all came from a throw-in, and Kostic applies the deathblow. We have a VAR check for a possible handball on the aforementioned free-kick from Jordi Alba, and the referee is going to the monitor. He springs free down the right, and it gets by the Frankfurt defenders and Trapp, but Aubameyang flubs it with the goal gaping. The delivery was low and poor, but it pops up and clips the outstretched arm of Borre as he battled with Ferran Torres. It did hit his arm, but this would be incredibly harsh if a penalty is called... Borre ends up on the ball in the six-yard box with acres of space to shoot but he shanks it well wide, a bad miss. It's a very soft give by the official, as he went up for a 50/50 header with de Jong but the referee says he went over the Dutchman's back. A calamitous performance from the hosts produces a shocking result, as a reported 30,000 Frankfurt fans were on hand to watch the action at the Camp Nou. Barcelona held 75% possession throughout proceedings but could not generate good chances, with just 10 total shots across the match to Frankfurt’s 15, most of which came in the final minutes as the hosts scrambled for a late miracle.

This could be an argument in favor of the Andalusian. The thing with Dest is that as much as he is much more of an offensive threat than Araujo, meaning Kostic has to be a little more aware in the defensive end, his defensive traits have not been quite good since his arrival to Barcelona. There is a small possibility of Ferran moving to the false nine position as the Spaniard helps more in the build-up and combinations than Aubemeyang, with Dembele and Adama Traore down the wings, but it seems unlikely. He could play Pique as a center-back and move Araujo to the right-back position again or let the Uruguayan play his natural position and trust in Sergiño Dest to cover Filip Kostic. The locals are going to play their game, trying to improve the speed of the combinations and the offensive movements in order to create the spaces to attack Eintracht. Barcelona have a couple more doubts as Xavi needs to choose which recently fit player he wants to play in the defense. Hasebe seems like the best and most probable option, the Japanese defender is a reliable veteran and is accustomed to the functioning of the squad, he is also the one that does not modify Glasner’s structure of three center-back. Regarding the Dutch full-back, Xavi said it's possible for him to play as he is a player that gives a lot to the team. Xavi said in the press conference the Blaugranas need to improve their performance of the first leg. Pique wants to play despite not being 100% fit, Depay and Dest are also available for the first time in a while. Eintracht coach Oliver Glasner said at the pre-match press conference that Die Adler have to do their absolute best and give their all to advance, with anything less the trainer said they won’t stand a chance. Eintracht hope to maintain the level of the first leg and take advantage of their chances to knock out Barcelona.

Kostic scores the penalty with class! Borre with a golazo!!!! 😳— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) April 14, 2022 Barca with two shots an an xG of just 0.20. Another goal for the visitors! It was sloppy all around, and now Barça have conceded four penalty in their last two games. After a wild comeback at Levante last weekend in La Liga, doing it again was unlikely here. An unbelievable day for the club. When the sign showing the added minutes came up, it was 3-0 and so one sided. Barça got a late consolation goal from Sergio Busquets with the tie already decided before earning another one via a Memphis Depay penalty kick in the final seconds. But it was the 2-0 goal that stole the show. Barcelona's dream of silverware this season is over and in stunning fashion.
Xavi Hernandez's side settled quickly after conceding and began to force the issue, with Ousmane Dembele setting up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for a header that went over the crossbar and Ronald Araujo volleying straight at Frankfurt keeper Kevin Trapp in ...

Unsurprisingly, Barcelona are the favorites with the sportsbooks. Barcelona should see this tie through, as the club is playing well despite the European challenges. Barcelona now playing from behind again, as it was in the first leg. Barcelona have never won this title in club history. With injuries in defense also making Barca potentially more vulnerable at home than they usually are, the markets clearly sense the possibility of goals in this game. The German side is confident to open the match! The delivery isn't cleared for some time, but eventually it turns into a Frankfurt counter-attack which is only snuffed out by a good interception just past halfway. He clowns Filip Kostic on the wing and wins another free-kick for Barcelona. It comes to nothing, but the Frenchman is clearly on a mission to will the hosts back level. 20th min: Barcelona appeals for a penalty as Jordi Alba goes down in the box under an Almamy Toure challenge, but the referee waves it away. While Barcelona has surged in La Liga play, now second in the standings with 14 matches unbeaten, European play has proven more challenging. Barcelona was out-shot by Frankfurt in the first leg 16-7 despite holding 67 percent possession, and Xavi was forced to defend his team's less-than-stellar performance away from home. Alba is FURIOUS, slapping the ground in anger, but there's hardly anything in that.
An entertaining Europa League quarter-final between Barcelon and Eintracht Frankfurt is in the balance as it concludes today.
Despite a furious late comeback, Barcelona was eliminated from the Europa League quarterfinals with a 3–2 loss at the Camp Nou.
