Barcelona vs. Frankfurt: Head-to-head record and past meetings

For the first time in over three years, Barcelona hosted a Champions League game at Camp Nou as the Catalan outfit defeated Eintracht Frankfurt.

Barca have moved a big step closer towards securing their spot in the knockout stage of the competition, while Eintracht Frankfurt are on the brink of elimination following their 2-1 defeat.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Draws: 1

Frankfurt wins: 1

Tuesday’s clash marked just the third head-to-head meeting between Barcelona and Frankfurt.

The Champions League might be the first competition to come to mind when considering the fixture, but the two sides actually faced off in the Europa League quarter-finals.

More surprising is the fact that Frankfurt emerged victorious across both legs, with the opening game ending in a 1-1 draw at Deutsche Bank Park.

Following a first half devoid of goals, the Eagles took the lead in the 48th minute through Ansgar Knauff, only for Ferran Torres to draw the visitors level 18 minutes later.

Despite going a man down in the 78th minute when Tuta received his marching orders for a second yellow card, Dino Toppmoller’s men held firm, leaving the tie to be decided in Spain.

An uncharacteristic event at Camp Nou saw Frankfurt race into a three-goal lead, starting with a penalty from Filip Kostic, followed by a strike from Rafael Borre in the 36th minute.

Kostic completed his brace in the 67th minute, putting the game further out of reach for Barcelona, whose resurgence came too late to inspire a dramatic comeback.

Not until stoppage time did the Blaugrana register their first goal, with a 91st-minute strike from Sergio Busquets, followed by a Memphis Depay penalty, bringing a frantic close to the contest as the Germans emerged 4-3 winners on aggregate.
