The teams postponed the determination of the Europa League semi-finalist until the second leg, failing to gain an advantage in the first meeting.
On Thursday, April 7, Eintracht Frankfurt hosted Barcelona in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw, as the hosts looked more like it, and the Catalan club had to recover during the meeting, and even in the crowd, the visitors did not get a winning result.
The first half ended with no goals recorded, and immediately after the break, Ansgar Knauff led the German team. The “Blaugranas” leveled the position midway through the second half of the match thanks to an accurate shot by Ferran Torres. The Frankfurt club needed to end the minority match, after Tuta achieved a dismissal in the 78th minute, but the Catalans failed to take advantage of the resulting numerical advantage.
