Summary

We have seen in the past that teams capable of strong comebacks often end up lifting the trophy. However, it is still too early to make any predictions. What this win does give Barcelona is a chance to automatically qualify for the Round of 16 without going through the play-offs.
Talking about the match, there isn’t much to break down apart from the fact that Frankfurt led in the first 45 minutes despite the Catalan giants controlling most of the game. Frankfurt did not allow Barcelona any clear scoring chances in the first half.

It was Sportsdunia player of the match Kounde who scored the first goal for Barcelona, and just minutes later, he netted the winner that secured all three points.
In appreciation of coach Hansi Flick, we can say that his decision to play Eric Garcia in midfield really worked. It allowed Kounde to push forward while Garcia stayed back, and the idea clicked perfectly. For Eintracht Frankfurt, the first half was solid defensively, but after conceding, their attack became invisible and they failed to create anything meaningful. Other than that, nothing exceptional was seen from Frankfurt.
