Barcelona finally got one over Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Champions League, edging out the Bundesliga side 2-1 in a tense night that swung heavily after the break. In the prematch report we expected a lot of fireworks in this encounter , and the game came to life from the start.
Softfootball understands that the win today was Barca's first-ever win over Frankfurt in Europe, and it stretched the visitors' winless run to four games in all competitions. Not pretty throughout, but effective when it mattered most, with Kounde starring bright under the Camp Nou lights.
The Frenchman won the player of the match award, as revealed by Barcelona in a video posted via their official X account.
