Barcelona fought back to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in the Champions League. It was their first-ever win over the German club. It also extended Frankfurt’s winless run to four games.
Barça started fast. They pressed high and created early chances. Robert Lewandowski scored in the 10th minute, but VAR ruled the goal out for offside. Moments later, Gerard Martín forced Michael Zetterer into a sharp save.
Frankfurt struck first in the 21st minute. Nathaniel Brown slipped a clever pass to Ansgar Knauff. Knauff held off two defenders and drilled a low shot past Joan García.
Barcelona kept attacking but lacked precision in the final ball. Frankfurt doubled up on Lamine Yamal and slowed Barça’s rhythm. Pedri and Raphinha pushed forward, but the visitors stayed organized. Just before halftime, Ellyes Skhiri went close after a smart setup from Knauff.
Frankfurt opened the second half with two quick chances. Barça responded through Raphinha, who fired over from a Marcus Rashford cutback. The pressure finally told. Rashford whipped in a superb cross and Jules Kounde headed in the equaliser.
Two minutes later, Kounde struck again. He found space in the box and punished Frankfurt’s static defending. Barcelona held on for a deserved comeback win.
