FC Barcelona - Eintracht Frankfurt Grin

this was a pathetic result for barcelona, but it was already an expected result, and it's not because Eintracht Frankfurt is a strong team, in fact Eintracht Frankfurt are a weak team that in the next phase will just be a team in which whoever calls to play against them he was just lucky because he will win. Barcelona's defeat has to do with the problem in defense, they had already conceded 2 goals against Levante, and note that Levante is in the relegation zone, so it was already foreseeable that Barcelona would concede many goals, I canceled my bet immediately that I realized this.

The truth is that Barcelona performance has not been really stable, before now I already know they will be out from the European league. Barcelona is trying but are not playing like the way they used to be before. Barcelona lack good defense which is really affecting them, now they are out they will have time to tackle their problems for La Liga.

Of course the four teams will not waste the opportunity to appear in the final. Frankfurt have overcome a big hurdle in the semifinals, they put in a great performance at the Camp Nou which saw Barcelona crash out of this tournament. Leipzig also looked very aggressive, 0-2 score at Gewiss Stadium was enough for Leipzig to appear in the semifinals. West Ham and Rangers are the favorites to appear in the final, but Leipzig and Frankfurt can provide a surprise that makes football observers' predictions miss a lot.

What is certain is that the Bundesliga has one representative in the final whether it's Frankfurt or Leipzig or even both
Of course it's a good achievement for Bundesliga if both teams manage to go to the final especially in the champions league there is no one representative just as teams from Serie A have no representatives in both competitions.

An interesting fact is that in the Europa League there are two representatives of the Bundesliga still surviving, while in the Champions League
there were no representatives of the Bundesliga in the semifinals after Bayern were eliminated. Even though quite a lot of people think
the Bundesliga is boring because it's always been dominated by Bayern. Finally gave rise to an opinion in the Bundesliga that a team other than
Bayern was a weak team and it turned out that the allegation was not true. Because in the Europa League there are still two Bundesliga
representatives who made it to the semifinals, and one of them managed to beat Barcelona as the favorite team.

And it will be even more interesting if Frankfurt and Leipzig can advance to the final, this could have happened if we saw the performance of
the two teams playing extraordinary in the quarter-finals. Then my prediction is that the winner of the Europa League trophy is between Frankfurt or
Leipzig, although there is still another scenario where the two representatives of the Bundesliga were defeated by their respective opponents
in the semifinals, but the possibility is very small.

West Ham may qualify for the Europa League final this season, but the tough task is to beat Frankfurt. I'm sure Frankfurt won't make it to the Europa League final but maybe Leipzig can instead make it to the final this season. To be exact one of the candidates from Germany is going to the final, but that's not Frankfurt in my opinion.

Apart from Serie A, Laliga also no longer has representation in the Europa League because now only Germany, Scotland and England.

Actually Leipzig's journey to the semi-finals was not so good they went through several matches because team from Russia were eliminated
But Leipzig have Christopher Nkunku this player is very dangerous he has scored a lot of goals in every match including the last game that scored 2 goals. Meanwhile Frankfurt went through the competition with a lot of struggle they really deserve to be counted into the final.

It was really surprising for me to see that Leipzig didn't have a huge difficulty in defeating Atalanta. I was expecting to see extra time at least but Leipzig won by 2-0 in 90 minutes. Atalanta weren't playing badly actually but they were lacking skills about finishing that's for sure. And it cost them the tournament. As Atalanta also were giving a big importance to the Europa League, I assume that they are really sad and disappointed about the result too.

After the games this week i would say that its possible that we maybe see a German final , Frankfurt vs Leipzig .
But West Ham and the Rangers are not to be underestimated and who knows maybe we will see an island duel with them.
My favorite would be Frankfurt that they get into the final as they really deserved it in my opinion.

Now 4 teams are still left, West Ham vs Frankfurt and Leipzig vs Rangers. These four teams have shown their quality in the European arena, they deserve appreciation for their struggle from the group stage to the semifinals.

West Ham vs Frankfurt will be a very interesting match. although I would like to see these two teams should be in the final rather than the semifinals. Maybe a much better cross for West Ham and Frankfurt. Then for Leipzig vs Rangers, this will tend to focus on seeing the free movement that Rangers expect. They took the initiative to be more aggressive and did not want to waste the opportunity to enter the final.

At first I also thought Barcelona would get away easily. But frankfrut performed beyond my expectations. They effectively rely on quick counterattacks. Barcelona were made difficult by the scheme. Moreover, barca is actually the host today. They lost the same to Madrid at UCL but madrid qualified while Barca did not. Perhaps this is karma for Xavi for insulting Madrid's losing game at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It's a strange defeat from Barcelona but we can not deny some magnificent shots and goals from Frankfut. I believe those scorers will hardly to score again in similar situation with their shots. So Frankfut did it well but Barcelona was too unlucky to be conceded 3 goals like that.

In Barcelona side, they would have scored more than 2 goals if they have had more lucky. Anyway, generally Barcelona can not blame on Frankfut or their unluckiness, they are responsible for this lose. It reveals the truth that despite of some good improvements from Xavi management and winter transfer, Barcelona still need to improve more in order to get their strength back to top level in Europe and La Liga.

Once money becomes more important than the passion the system begins to crumble. Selling tickets 2-5 times it's original worth to Frankfurt and having more Frankfurt fans in the stadium is highly un patriotic. The more the home fan the more the get cheered to playing for a sure win and the more the away fan the same result get achieved

Barcelona should have investigated the matter thoroughly and it seems that there are internal barcelona parties who are playing with such a shameful thing, I think whatever the reason they sold the ticket to the Frankfurt side is not justifiable and it is quite appropriate for the Barcelona squad to be disappointed with their own fans, Moreover, this match is a very important match for Barcelona and the Barcelona squad really really needs full support from the fans to raise the fighting spirit of the players.

Anything can happen in Football. Who thought Frankfurt will be able to win against Barcelona at Nou Camp stadium. Frankfurt was desperate to qualify for the Semi-finals. While, Barcelona underrated their opponent, and we were expecting an easy winning for Barca. Although, Barcelona dominated the game, but It seems Frankfurt only came for the winning. However, i think is quite obvious that something is wrong with Barca. They first got kicked out of the Champions League, and are now also out of the Europe League. Which probably means they might end this season without any trophy. Nevertheless, Congratulations to Frankfurt.

Btw, is it true that Barcelona played at Camp Nou last night? ;
Because I see it seems almost 90% of the Nou Camp stadium is dominated by frankfurt fans, what's wrong with Barcelona?

That is an issue that is being discussed because actually there were some really crazy things that the Barcelona fan base did in that game as it was known to sell tickets to Frankfurt fans for 2 to 5 times more expensive. Based on some news that I read, Barcelona ticket management also made a mistake where they did not limit the opposing fans in this match which in the end almost 30K Frankfurt fans filled the stadium.

In effect, Frankfurt seem to be playing at home without much pressure even though they actually argue that it is a rare opportunity that they should get even when tickets are 5 times more expensive than Barcelona supporters. Xavi and several Barcelona players have questioned this, but Laporta has clarified everything that it was a fatal mistake that resulted in his team losing.

Despite all the bad results that barcelona got in that match it was fitting for Xavi and the barcelona players to be disappointed with what their fans were doing, I think as fans, they should have stood tall in every condition the club is currently facing, but in fact they are prefer money by selling tickets to frankfurt fans and making frankfurt fans control almost all seats in the stadium to cheer for their team in that crucial match, judging from what you said, of course we can conclude that the loyalty of the barcelona fans is only worth a few euros Grin

.

Is it really a fan? This doesn't reflect a fan I think because it's really bad taking the opportunity to sell at a really high price is really bad.

Well this may not be wrong for sales but do they have to be like this to make a profit there. I really don't understand this way of thinking.

Eintracht frankfurt should have won this game by a higher margin perhaps 5-0, 6-0 long before Barcelona ever dreamt of conjuring a miracle by scoring those two late goals. The heroics of ter stergen and Eintracht frankfurt's profligacy in front of the goal flattered Barcelona's final scoreline because the attacking flair from the boys from frankfurt was very explosive. Just that they became complacent in the dying stages of the encounter which allowed Barcelona to almost crawl back with two late goals. I enjoyed the game very well.

betting on Eintracht when the game has not started I don't think it's the choice of those who place the bet. now Eintracht is in 9th position in the Bundesliga. and managed to beat Barca. even Barca only scored 2 goals at the end of the game.
Barca's possession as usual was excellent. but their midfield didn't manage to create a gap in the Eintracht defense well. Eintracht did very well, although I had to lose this bet too.

I don't remember exactly, but it seems that bets on Eintracht winning were accepted with odds of about 8. These are very real chances, very often we see more incredible events happen. Perhaps Barcelona was too much overrated before this game, and if with the information already available we would have had a similar game ahead, it seems to me that Eintracht would have got no more odds than 5. It turns out that the bet on Eintracht was quite an adequate decision.

How are the mighty fallen, barca put up a late fight, but all result was jst a consolation to the home fans.Considering how Barca ended last season and started out this season, I think they have done well for themselves, there is an improvement, just that their tactics didn't work against frankfurter, Frankfurt were playing as if they were at home, the presence of their supporters in the stadium was amazing, huge numbers of their supporters were presence

This is a football, what happens on the pitch is the complete opposite of what is predicted off the pitch. Previously, football observers were very confident with the quality that Barcelona has to overthrow Frankfurt easily, the same thing happened with Atalanta. In fact, there are those who rely on these two teams, Barcelona and Atalanta can advance to the final with ease.

Eintracht have maintained the record for not loosing to Spanish opposition since 1960 European cup final against Real Madrid.

Well, to be fair, they haven't had too many chances to play against Spanish teams in official tournaments since then Cheesy

Impressive win from their side regardless. This game made their entire year, being rather without success in this year's Bundesliga season. Would they qualify for the Europa League again in case they win the title? This could be there only hope playing internationally next year then...

winning the Europa League this season is the only way they will be able to play on the European stage again next season because they are currently in 9th position in the standings.
Eintracht Frankfurt really made a surprise, no one expected them to beat Barcelona who are in good form.
Frankfurt is currently in high confidence, it is not impossible that they can win the Europa League this season.
