Barcelona

Despite a furious late comeback, Barcelona was eliminated from the Europa League quarterfinals with a 3–2 loss at the Camp Nou.

In the 11th minute of second-half stoppage time, a Memphis Depay penalty saw the Frankfurt lead cut to one. Sergio Busquets appeared to give Barcelona some hope with his goal in the 84th minute, but a VAR review ruled him offside. Frankfurt will take on West Ham while RB Leipzig will face Scottish side Rangers.

Barcelona were dumped out of the Europa League on Thursday as Eintracht Frankfurt pulled off a shock 3-2 victory at Camp Nou to progress to the semi-finals.

Dembele's pass for Busquets fell short in midfield and Frankfurt broke fast. Frenkie de Jong replaced the injured Pedri at half-time and Barca almost grabbed the early goal they needed but Aubameyang inexplicably missed the ball from a yard out at the back post. Sergio Busquets pulled one back for Barcelona in the 91st minute and then Memphis Depay scored a penalty in the 11th minute of injury time as the hosts attempted a late comeback.

"I think the togetherness helps, if you have a good team spirit then all managers would like to get it but it comes from winning and good results. For all the fans, it's a great night." Bowen needed only three minutes to wrap the game up, as a helpless Lyon failed to trouble West Ham's resolute defence and test goalkeeper Alphonse Areola. The midfielder's goal was sandwiched by strikes from Craig Dawson and Jarrod Bowen, continuing their European dream which has seen them beat Europa League specialists Sevilla and French giants Lyon in the knockouts after storming the group stages. It was the hardest thing I've ever done." Whether it was a poor night from Barca, they still had to score three against them.

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.

Barcelona reportedly closed ticket sales on Wednesday to prevent more Frankfurt supporters form purchasing seats in the home end.

It turned out to be a 10-minute boycott, but as they returned and the second half played out, there were loud whistles when the home side were in possession, an indication of how many Frankfurt fans had flocked to see their side in action. It was then reported that Barcelona’s most vocal supporters, who occupy the lower section behind one of the goals, opted not to come out for the start of second half in protest over how many Frankfurt fans were in attendance. Frankfurt had sold out their 5,000 away-seat allocation, while Sport in Spain reported Barcelona closed ticket sales for their own supporters on Wednesday in a bid to prevent the opposing fans from purchasing more in the home ends.

Barcelona were left humiliated in a heavy Europa League defeat against mid-table Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt at the Camp Nou.

That night had no fault or blame attached whatsoever on Trapp, but it was a painful night in his career and was the sort of experience that many players would struggle to properly recover from. The record has not improved in the Europa League, with Thursday’s clash preceded by two underwhelming draws against Napoli and Galatasaray respectively. This two-legged tie against Frankfurt, who languish in ninth place in the Bundesliga, was a reality check. The stadium appeared to be half-filled by those clad in Frankfurt’s white shirts, roaring their team on with each goal being met with a deafening roar by their huge following. Tonight was the third game in Europe this season that Barcelona’s frailties have been exposed by a German side. Midway through the second half, Kostic added a third with a powerful left-footed finish into the corner and after Frankfurt spurned more chances, Barca launched a late rally.

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.
