Barcelona are out of the Europa League. Eintracht Frankfurt defeated the Catalans at The Camp Nou 3-2 after a 1-1 draw in Germany last week. This is disappointing for Barça, but a needed learning curve for Xavi’s Barcelona.
Match Summary
Frankfurt have made it to the Europa League semi-finals by beating Barca on their own patch! The Germans had Barca’s number for most of the game, so when Kostic made it 3-0 going into the final quarter, the hosts seemed dead and buried. Somehow, in added time, Barca pulled two goals back, but Frankfurt held on for a famous victory.
West Ham have kept their Europa League dream alive with an impressive 3-0 victory over Lyon. The Hammers secure Europa League semi-final spot with a 4-1 aggregate win over the French side. With Barça also crashing out, West Ham will fancy their chances of going all the way.
