Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Match Stats

Barcelona have won 14 of their last 16 home games against German sides in European competition (losing the other two games), however this will be the first such fixture played outside of the Champions League since January 1998 – a 2-0 win for Barcelona in the European Super Cup final (first leg) against Borussia Dortmund.

Barça have only failed to progress from one of their last six knockout stage ties in European competition when avoiding defeat in the first leg, with that elimination coming against Liverpool – the eventual winners – in the Champions League semi-finals in 2018/19 (3-0 in first leg, 0-4 in second leg). Ferran Torres has been directly involved in four goals in five appearances for Barcelona in European competition (two goals and two assists); the most of any player since he joined the club.

Eintracht Frankfurt are unbeaten in their last nine games against Spanish sides in European competition (five wins and four draws), including the last four away from home (three wins and one draw) – they won 2-1 away to Real Betis in the previous round this season. Frankfurt forward Filip Kostic has created eight chances following a carry (moving five or more metres with the ball) in the Europa League this season, the most of any player in the competition.
