Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt LIVE. Spaniards and Germans will face each other today, Thursday, April 14 at the Camp Nou Stadium for the quarterfinals of the second leg of the Europa League 2022. Whoever wins the match, by any score, will put his name in the semifinals. Here you can follow all the incidents.

In the Spanish LaLiga, the 'Barça' team accumulated a victory against Levante on the last day and added 9 consecutive matches won, which keeps them in second place with 60 points, 12 points behind Real Madrid, who also won a win against Getafe. Hence, this fight will continue in the 8 games that remain to be played in the domestic tournament.

To reach this stage of the European competition, Barça left behind other important teams such as Italy's Napoli (5-3) and Turkey's Galatasaray (2-1). However, he had to go through the Champions League before, where he finished third in his group, which is why he entered this contest.

It could also be indicated that the lowest category team was precisely Eintracht Frankfurt, given that it is not one of the greats in their country, but rather one in the middle of the table. Even so, he managed to draw a very important tie in the first leg that was played at Deutsche Bank Park, so they stay alive to fight for the next round.

Now, if we look at the squad of the 'blaugrana' cast, we can see that it has outstanding players such as Frenkie De Jong, Dembélé, Ferran Torres, Pedri, Gavi, Aubameyang, among others, who have taken the lead role of the team and have been instrumental in getting the team out of the downhill in the that they were in. Added to this is the appointment of Xavi Hernández as coach, who has given him back the identity and philosophy he had lost in recent years.

On the other hand, Eintracht Frankfurt remain in ninth place in the Bundesliga with 39 points, the same as they had last week. This is because they lost in the recent league match at home to Freiburg. For this reason, it could be concluded that he is not going through a good time given that in the last 3 domestic matches, they achieved 1 fall and 2 draws.

A completely different case occurs in the international competition, since they finished first in group D, which earned them to face Real Betis in the round of 16. In fact, they eliminated the Spanish team by an overall 3 to 2. These results have allowed them to dream of advancing and to think of Barcelona as a rival they can face.

Among the figures that coach Oliver Glasner has are the Colombian Rafael Santos Borré, who in the first leg match was one of the most dangerous. The same happens with Danish director Jesper Lindstrom, who also shined against the Catalans and, at the age of 22, has become one of the next stars of his team.

ABSENCES AND DOUBTS

Barcelona will have a doubt for this match. This is the experienced defender Gerard Pique, who was injured by the abductor in the left leg in the match played in Germany. At first they will wait until before the match, but if it does not arrive, the Frenchman Clement Lenglet would take his place.

Eintracht Frankfurt is also experiencing a similar situation with Djibril Sow, who has discomfort in his right knee and will be under constant evaluation. Sebastian Rode would take his place if he didn't recover. On the other hand, Christopher Lenz (calf injury) and Tuta (sanction) are the safe casualties.

STATEMENT

Xavi Hernández, coach of the 'barlagranas', spoke about this definitive commitment. “We are Barça. It's about being excellent in everything we do. There is no comparison. Barça is the most difficult and demanding club. We have an obligation to win by playing well. We have to be excited and we have to be excited about winning the Europa League, which is the only title that the club does not have, he said.

On the other hand, Oliver Glasner, strategist of the 'Eagles', knows the magnitude of the rival, but was optimistic about passing the stage. We are aware that it will be a very difficult task against a very strong team, but we have the confidence of the first leg. One thing is clear: good work must be done in all aspects. There are a lot of things that have to be right. We still have room for improvement compared to last week. The defensive organization, the concentration, the state of alert, but also in the lead,” he emphasized.
