Barcelona’s European journey in the 2021-22 season has ended at the quarterfinal stage of the Europa League thanks to a 3-2 loss to Eintracht Frankurt in the second leg at Camp Nou on Thursday. Barça played poorly from start to finish and were well beaten by an excellent Frankfurt side, and the Blaugrana’s best shot at a trophy in Xavi Hernández’s first season is gone in painful fashion.
FIRST HALF
The game started very badly for Barça as Eric García gave away a silly penalty by bringing down Lindstrom inside the box after just three minutes, and Filip Kostic stepped up the spot and scored Frankfurt’s opener.
