Sometimes you just have to admit you were beaten by the better side.
Eintracht Frankfurt came to Camp Nou with a game plan and they followed it to the letter. Frankly, they were excellent.
On the night they were everything Barcelona were not.
Disciplined, organised and confident in being on the front foot in possession, it was a worthy victory.
What it showed is that, once again, when a visiting team decide to play five at the back and hit Barça on the break, dismantling the high line in the process, the Catalans don’t really have an answer — whatever team they have out.
