When in possession, Barcelona play more of a back three with Eric García, Araújo and Óscar Mingueza. Jordi Alba occupies the left wing and Dembélé the right. Ferrán Torres is between the lines.

Barça almost equalises. Dembélé has space on the right wing on the counterattack. He moves past N’Dicka into the middle and then crosses from the right corner of the box to the far post with a left. There stands Aubameyang. But his header lands on goal.

Tooor for Eintracht Frankfurt, 0:1 by Filip Kostić

Rarely has a goal from the guests cheered so loudly at the Camp Nou. Filip Kostić shoots the penalty flat with Schmackes in the lower right corner. Ter Stegen jumps to the left. Unity leads!

Frankfurt toasts. The quarter-final second leg against FC Barcelona is underway.

20:55

30,000 Frankfurt fans traveled to Barcelona with their team. A total of almost 100,000 people are probably in the stadium. The mood is excellent.

20:28

Oliver Glasner is forced to make two changes at SBU compared to the first leg. The suspended Tuta is represented in central defense by Almamy Touré. In addition, Sebastian Rode will start in sixth place for the injured Djibril Sow.

20:26

In contrast to the first leg a week ago, Xavi is rebuilding his team in two positions. The in-form Ousmane Dembélé will start on the right wing in place of Adama Traoré. In addition, Gerard Piqué injured his adductors in the first leg. He will be replaced in central defense by Ronald Araújo, whose right-back position will be replaced today by Óscar Mingueza.

20:23

Frankfurt suffered a defeat against SC Freiburg on Sunday. The 1:2 was a bit unfortunate for the eagles. They scored two offside goals and hit the post again. Nevertheless, it must be noted that the last competitive win is dated March 13th. If Eintracht wants to go through today without penalties, they finally have to win again.

20:12

Apart from the performance on Sunday, FC Barcelona are in very good form. No competitive game has been lost since January 20th. In between, they won the Clásico in Madrid 4-0. The two ex-Dortmund players Ousmane Dembélé and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the two homegrown players Gavi and Pedri have been particularly outstanding in recent weeks. It is important for the SGE to keep an eye on these players.

20:07

The home side beat UD Levante 3-2 in La Liga on Sunday night. This win moved Xavi’s team up to second in the table. The performance of the Catalans was very mixed. It lacked the right attitude against the relegation candidates. Barcelona conceded three penalties and only won thanks to a last-minute header from Luuk de Jong. With a similar performance today, elimination would be inevitable.

20:04

The first leg in Frankfurt ended 1-1. This result was a bit lucky for Barça, because Eintracht was the better team for long stretches. Only the Adler’s conversion of chances left a lot to be desired and the yellow-red card for Tuta was painful because the central defender is suspended as a result.

20:01

Hello and welcome to the UEFA Europa League quarter-final second leg. Today at 9 p.m. Eintracht Frankfurt is a guest at FC Barcelona.
