With Barcelona now out of the way now everyone can win it and i honestly dont know who can take it in the end. West Ham had an easy job against Lyon that is really in bad form. Frankfurt showed they are serious for the title by o most destroying Barcelona in Spain so i cant wait for next round
Now there is no favorite team to win the Europa League title this season. Barcelona's defeat in the second leg was quite surprising to many, considering that they were one of the teams that deserved to be favorites before in the Europa League. Obviously it was the subject of ridicule for a few days, but as we know that in football anything can happen like German giants Bayern Munich being failed to reach the semifinals in this season's Champions League by the 7th ranked team in Laliga.

Barcelona and the fans deserve to be deeply disappointed, the match did not go as expected. Frankfurt know the most effective way to stop Barcelona and they did it perfectly. Even after they made it to the semifinals, no one really believed they could win the title.

Not always Barcelona under the control of Xavi Hernandez can always progress smoothly and unstoppably in every tournament played. Barcelona's pace stopped in the Europa League tournament was stopped by Eintracht Frankfurt with an aggregate of 3-4. Not many expected that Barcelona could concede 3 goals against Eintracht Frankfurt and many thought that Barcelona would be very easy to qualify because they played at Camp Now. It turns out that Eintracht Frankfurt ruined Barcelona's dream of lifting the Europa League trophy.
I also didn't think that Eintracht Frankfurt would be able to break Barcelona's dream this time because everyone knows that Barcelona is a strong club under Xavi Hernandez's control, but all of that was refuted when Barcelona was defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt which made everyone surprised and didn't even think it could happen.
From the result of the first leg, both teams came into today's game hoping they could topple each other after several positive takeaways from their previous meeting. Eintracht Frankfurt wanted it more than Barcelona. Barcelona didn't look dangerous, they didn't take any shots from out of the box from long range. 80% of the time they tried from the wings to score which didn't work at all. I know for sure that German teams are very dangerous because they shoot from anywhere, anytime.  They have several approach to games. They made a bright start to the game and committed players forward, putting pressure on Barcelona.

I didn't see any Barcelona in the first half. They were like a weak second league team playing against Frankfurt and trying something desperately. Maybe it was because of their not caring about the Europa League too much I don't know. But I certainly believe that Frankfurt deserved this victory fully. Barcelona were nearly turning the game around in the last minutes but they couldn't.

Barcelona performance in the first half was very poor which was giving their fans a serious fear about the match. Frankfurt used their home advantage to draw the match with Barcelona in the first leg, hoping Barcelona will use the second leg to equalize and add more goals but at the end of the match, Frankfurt defeated Barcelona to qualify for semi final. Frankfurt defense was very strong for Barcelona players to embrace opportunity till the end of the match. Frankfurt coach has demonstrated a good record that will make their fans, never forget his excellent performance in this UEFA Europa league season.

Eintracht Frankfurt now in the semifinals of the Europa League and Kostic is the man of the match for me. he game will be talked about again and again in the coming years. The first game in the semifinals is already this month, on 28 April and the second match on 05 May. And it looks like there could be a German final. Leipzig against Frankfurt in Sevilla.

Further more with Barcelona out, I will be supporting West Ham next.
They have come this far and Moyes had this experience a long time.
I'm tipping them for lifting the Europa league competition.

I would also fully support the representatives from England, although Westham didn't have much of the ball last night, Moyes's men were very good on the counter-attack, and took every opportunity they had.
Too bad the early mistakes cost Barca their only trophy of the season,
I hope this season representatives from England become kings of Europe this season, both in the champions league and European leagues.

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.

Xavi cost Barcelona this crucial match. His starting XI wasn't good. Why starting Mingueza and Gavi, I really didn't expect Barcelona to lose the match, This days football is not about big names, this same Barca team was the best in the world for many years how things turned around

Frankfurt's elimination of Barcelona is considered to be the best event of recent times for them. Before the match, it was Barcelona that was favored by almost everyone. Frankfurt, on the other hand, believed that they could win this match. With a great game, they closed the 90 minutes ahead 3-0, but they conceded 2 goals in additional time. However, they managed to win the match 3-2. I think that was the biggest thing last night. Congratulations Frankfurt!

What an insane game that was yesterday, I still have goosebumps today. Nobody believed that Frankfurt had a chance against Barcelona. The mood was crazy at the sports bar here, everyone happy and cheering. I wish I had bet some money on the team, problem is that every time I bet money on my home team for a big match they tend to lose - didn't want to yinx it this time. Leipzig - Rangers will be a good game in 2 weeks, I think Leipzig got this one. And then Eintrach Frankfurt is playing West Ham which will be a hard game. Beating Lyon 3-0 was a strong game of West Ham, but I think Frankfurt is so hyped up that they will manage to pull through. Would be amazing to see an all German Finals in the Europa League. Definitely rooting for Frankfurt all the way.

Even if Barcelona managed to equalize the score it didn't affect anything Barcelona still eliminated because they lost on away goals

If I remember it correctly, away goals rule is removed by UEFA for any competition from 2021-2022 season. So in case Barcelona were able to equalize and finish the game with 2-2, the game will continue to Extra Time. Today's match shows that Barcelona were very weak in defense as well as in scoring goals. They played so bad in the first half and Frankfurt were obviously better. Barcelona 1st goal was a bit late, maybe they may do come back if they could score at least 1 goal earlier. There was like a big hole in the defense of Barcelona, perhaps because of the missing Pique as central defender.
Home and away goal have removed by UEFA and effective on this season without any contributing again how many goal scoring of away match. I think last night match between Barcelona vs Frankfurt although have score draw will extended extra time and penalty kick if still draw. Bad performance from Barcelona last night and not really strong when Frankfurt make counter attack, left and right defender from Barcelona most easy for forward Frankfurt how to score goals last night.

It looks like it is the end of the road for Barcelona in the Europa League. Because we are nearly at the end of the first half now and they are 0-2 behind Eintracht Frankfurt. Frankfurt are playing just as the first game and this is helping them a great deal. This time, they are not that clumsy about finishing up their attacks with goals. I don't know whether Barcelona can turn the game around at this point. They don't seem like they care about it so Frankfurt are very likely to advance.

The most efficient way of utilizing opportunities in the 90 minutes was to not score a single goal in the 90 minutes and then score two goals in the final minutes. In a shock defeat at home, Barcelona, who were favored to win the Europa League Title, tumbled to a disappointing finish. Not only are they losing, but they did it in complete disgrace. Naturally, they continue losing to unknown teams, as some unknown team is destroying them in their own backyard. It is no wonder why Frankfurt is so good. We wish them luck in the league. We congratulate them.
I remembered several times that Sevilla do take advantage of Europa league, Sevilla understand the league very well. But Barcelona disappointed its fan as the club lost yesterday to Frankfurt, it wasn't only Barcelona, also Atalanta lost to RP Leipzig, only West Ham qualified among which we were expecting and yet played with Lyon. Hopefully West Ham United may immerge as the winner of this season Europa league, but with what those other clubs are playing, I am not sure who would win but I am going for West Hanm as the only English Club there that has not disappointed.

I have to say that Frankfurt really surprised me yesterday - I didn't think they had much chance after the 1st leg. They played a brilliant game overall and fully deserved to go through, the final score flatters Barcelona.
On the other hand, I kinda felt West Ham would go through even after a bad 1st game. They are simply a better team than Lyon and now that Barcelona is out, are my main favorites for the trophy.

Fair play to Rangers as well - they played a great game. However, I think that over 2 legs they simply cannot beat Leipzig.

Yes, Frankfurt can make a surprise and I personally still believe that Barcelona will not be easy to win in this match. The current home factor does not really guarantee that the home team will win, the difference in quality that looks much different will be a match full of surprises. It's different if the teams that compete are teams with the same team quality and both as big teams, then they will play carefully from the start. So yes, this is a difficult match for me to predict although indeed, on paper Barcelona will definitely win but I'm still not completely sure.

What I had doubts about came true here, because I just feel that Barcelona in the Europa League is very, very not what Barcelona should be. It happened when they played against Galatasaray that even, Galatasaray in the local league was terrible but Barcelona looked made to work hard in the two legs they played. Eintracht Frankfurt although not the best team in the Bundesliga but at least their competition in the Bundesliga is tougher when compared to Galatasaray, so Eintracht Frankfurt's players can be said to be better and they proved it very well at Camp Nou.

That's Eintracht Frankfurt! Took more shots than Barcelona and won the away game. I don't know what Barcelona were thinking, but not scoring a single goal in the whole game and then scoring two goals in the final minutes is very funny. Glasgow Rangers put on a show too, but they were lucky Braga earned a red card in the first half.

Glasgow Rangers played very comfortably against their opponent and they took almost all the shots in the match. Braga fans got a little hopeful after David Carmo's goal, but at the end of the match, Glasgow Rangers scored again and qualified for the next round.
We watched a good match, but the Barcelona match was much more interesting, of course Cheesy

first Bayern was put down by Villareal, then it was a German revenge by Eintracht, that kicked-out Barca
did not expect any of these
Rangers kicked-out Braga in a really interesting match, where Braga finished match with 9 players

what is interesting is that only team that had advantage from first match, was kicked-out

with Eintracht, Leipzig, Rangers and West Ham in semi-final, one expected winner is certainly there, cheering for Rangers within these four, it is a duel between Brits/Scots and Germans in semi-finals

The defeat of Barcelona is really a big surprise for me. Or rather, such a good performance from Eintracht, who was able to perfectly exploit the weaknesses of Xavi's team. The most incomprehensible for me, however, is the attitude of the "most faithful" Barcelona fans who left their seats in protest due to the large number and great cheering of Eintracht Frankfurt fans. This is a pathetic attitude to me. But it's probably called "modern footbal"...

The first game in the semifinals is already this month, on 28 April and the second match on 05 May. And it looks like there could be a German final. Leipzig against Frankfurt in Sevilla.

Frankfurt's performance was remarkable. Every attack they made was strong enough. They were able to take advantage of Barcelona's weak defense. However, in the semi-finalsFrankfurt will face West Ham. Winning the semi-final will not be easy for Frankfurt. West Ham is a strong team. But I think the final match will be between Frankfurt and Leipzig.
