Barca : Frankfurt 0:3  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Barcelona has 76% ball possession but is currently losing 3-0 to Frankfurt. Crazy, right?

Barcelona only wants the ball possessions, they forgot to score.  
I don't know what's wrong with Barcelona today, they are playing with all the key players and it is at home. Barcelona should be better than Frankfurt, they have better players and they are on fire. What Barcelona shows in this match is like an anticlimax or a huge drop in performance after they always won in the last many matches. So poor for Barcelona fans, they must dream of a trophy in this competition.

It's unbelievable what's going on in Barcelona right now. Frankfurt leads 1-3 and it is only 5 minutes to play football.

The VAR ruled Busquets offside in 84', so no Barça goal.
But Busquets fires a beauty once more in 90 + 1 '.  No ruling out this one!

Well, I can only laugh at the result of the Barcelona match against Frankfurt. Barcelona have tried everything to score goals, but they are difficult to create chances. It would be very surprising of course because Frankfurt is actually not seeded. Too cool to attack makes Barcelona not focus on defense so they are left behind by the third goal. Well in the end I had to be satisfied with the result even though it was very disappointing.

what a fantastic game . congratulations to frankfurt

Barcelona - Frankfurt game is just amazing right now. Frankfurt have showed an incredible performance so far and Barcelona haven't been that much impressive. However, Barcelona have just scored a penalty and decreased the goal difference to only one (2-3). And Frankfurt are playing with ten players from now on. But we are in the last moments and there is a very limited period of time for Barcelona to score the equalizer. And while I was writing this post, the game ended by this score. Frankfurt got a completely deserved win and they are in the semi finals!

Barca : Frankfurt  2:3

Good results from Frankfurt, who win away at Camp Nou and proceed to the semi finals of the europa league. Other Semfinalist are WestHam, Leicester, while Braga and Rangers are playing extra 30 minutes to find a winner. Aggregrate score is 2-2 as 10 men Braga holds on against Rangers

[snipie]

Farewell Barcelona. That was the most shocking result, as worst as seeing Bayern being kicked from CL! BTW is there some Barca fans / staff that sold their tickets to their rivals?
Leipzig won earlier vs Atalanta which I find interesting. West Ham made it too. Meanwhile Rangers and Braga will continue additional time.

Barca : Frankfurt 0:3  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I can't even believe this but it's a fact that happened. Barcelona even managed to score 2 goals in the 91' and 90+11' minutes. I'm a little lucky not to place a bet on this match, if not then I'll be unlucky like other bettors lol.

Frankfurt deserved to win today and I think it was the result of their hard work during the game. Solid defense and taking advantage of the opportunities well made them win the match.

Barcelona was very frustrated throughout the game because of Frankfurt's solid defense, here I don't really like the strategy of stacking more than 7 players at the back, but against Barcelona it was a very effective way. So I have to say Barcelona's failure today in the Europa League has cost them their title chances this season. Congratulations to Frankfurt.

What a shame, completely outplayed by mediacore Bundesliga team at home. We had ball posession, but what's the point of it when opponent is more dangerous in attack. I think that absense of Alves in Europa league is huge factor for Barca.
Lyon 0:3 West Ham. It was difficult to expect such outcome. Can't say anything about game without watching it, but it's impressive stuff from Hammers.
Rangers 2:1 Braga and we are in Extra time. After such powerful start, I thought that Rangers will solve all questions without any problems, especially after Braga red card. Braga looked very poor for most part of game, but somehow they managed to score and send game to extra time.

I don't think this was what the game plan was all about for Barcelona,  two goals down in the first half and they expect Frankfurt to just throw away this lead here....not happening!
We all know the fate of Barcelona and its a crap for them because Frankfurt keep showcasing some good football.

I do honestly don't expect it could happened. An unfortunate game for Barcelona, though they play shamefully in this match. Turns out that Frankfurt is the team that could break Xaviball. Quite irritating play from Barcelona, if I might say. The early absurd foul by Garcia, and the early misses in the second half by Auba. And with such gameplay, the away team is way deserved enough to take the win.

90+11' Memphis penalty scored. Barcelona 2-3 Frankfurt
A painful loss at home ends Barca's European adventure, and the club's best chance at a trophy this season is over. Goodbye, Barcelona. I know you broke a lot of hearts tonight.

Barca : Frankfurt  2:3

what a fantastic game . congratulations to frankfurt

What a great game to watch. I would guess that 95% percent of all football fans expected that it will be a pretty easy match for Barcelona today and that they will surely go through to the next round. Eintracht Frankfurt has proven before though that they are always capable of winning against big teams in the european cups. Back in 2019 they also reached the semi final in the Europa League and then they even managed to reach the penalty shootout against the huge favorite FC Chelsea. So i knew before that Frankfurt has a chance but of course i also expected Frankfurt to go through.
And of course Frankfurt has one of the best fan groups in the world. To bring 30000 fans to an away game that is more than 1000 km away is just absolutely crazy and unique.

Barcelona has 76% ball possession but is currently losing 3-0 to Frankfurt. Crazy, right?

I can't believe what happened, how is it possible that Barcelona, who is at the top, can be beaten by Frankfurt. It's a crazy, I'm very disappointed
with Barcelona's performance. Frankfurt were absolutely amazing, they played really well. Frankfurt players are very fast in attack, only 25% of
the ball but being able to shoot 15 times is a very good thing. No wonder Frankfurt was able to win 3 goals first, it's a shame that Barcelona could only
score two goals in the last minute of the match. Barcelona had to be eliminated very painfully, I didn't expect Barcelona to be knocked out by Frankfurt,
congratulations to Frankfurt for qualifying for the semifinals.

Looking at how the results came through today, Its safe to say home advantage nolonger carries the weight it had back then as compared to todays football

Just look at the stats,We had 6 out of 8 away match wins today which backs my theory am putting across, and if any punters are seeing this, home advantage should never be a basis for a team to win!

Anyway of all games played today, I Feel bad for Barcelona but the comeback started late on in the game, better luck next time boys!

[yayayo]

Barcelona has come very close. I saw that an injury time of no less than 11 minutes had been added. 2-3 yet. If that goal had not been disallowed by the VAR, it would have even become 3-3. But that doesn't count. Barcelona started playing football far too late. At halftime it was already 0-2, which was a harbinger of the elimination. They're going to be really pissed off there now. Last chance to win a prize.

ya.ya.yo!

[karabiber]

It was the worst Barcelona I've ever seen. They started the game very reluctantly and continued that way. I guess Barcelona management reserved half of the tickets for Frankfurt fans. They probably thought we could guarantee a tour of Barcelona. In the match statistics the German team had a clear advantage over Barca. After all Frankfurt passed a giant like Barcelona and continues on its way in the Europa League.

West Ham United and Frankfurt's away win, out of all of them, made me respect football and believe that there is nothing like home advantage in football when the other team is playing well.
Barcelona was eliminated from the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, which was unexpected because I had expected Barcelona to win the trophy because I believed there was no club who could beat them, but Frankfurt has shown me otherwise. Let's wait and see how the competition ends.

Dissapointing from Barcelona honestly. They lost 2:3 but were losing 0:3 at home against Frankfurt and that just cannot happen at this late of a stage. Barcelona cannot even reach the semi finals of Europe League and that is just really sad. Frankfurt can even win this now if they play like this
