In a focus battle in the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals that ended in the early morning of April 15, Beijing time, the title-winning favourite, La Liga giants Barcelona broke out at home, they lost 2-3 to Bundesliga powerhouse Eintracht Frankfurt, ending a 15-game unbeaten record. Barca were also eliminated 3-4 on aggregate to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
With Barca losing this campaign, they ended their European participation in this season. Barca have also set a series of humiliating records in European competitions this season. First of all, Barca have won only 1 of their 8 home games in Europe this season, with a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses, and the only victory is a 1-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev.
Second, after Xavi took office, Barca have never won at home in a European war, with a record of 3 draws and 1 loss, before which was 0-0 Benfica, 1-1 Napoli, 0-0 Galatasaray. Third, Barca have conceded 3 or more goals in each of their last 11 European games, including 4-0 losses to Liverpool and 2-8 to Bayern.
Fourth, Barca also made Eintracht Frankfurt the second team to score three goals away from Barca this season, the first also from the Bundesliga, it was Bayern. Fifth, Barca also allowed Eintracht Frankfurt to maintain a magical record of 5 European away games against Spanish teams.
After the loss of the aspiring Europa League title, coupled with the loss of the Copa del Rey to Biba, the Champions League stopped in the group stage. Barca have only a La Liga title to contend for this season. But at the moment, Barca are trailing leaders Real Madrid by as many as 12 points. If you want to complete the big reversal, the difficulty can be imagined, and Barca may have to face the embarrassment of the four big empty this season.
