Koundé Brace Lifts Barcelona Over Frankfurt as Yamal Sets Record, Draws Suspension

Flick called the 18-year-old’s irritation at a late substitution acceptable after a booking that will sideline him for the next Champions League game.

Overview

  • Barcelona beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 after conceding the opener, with Jules Koundé scoring twice to turn the match around.
  • Lamine Yamal delivered the cross for Koundé’s winner and, per UEFA, now leads all under-19 players in Champions League history with 14 goal involvements.
  • Yamal received a yellow card in the 56th minute and will miss Barcelona’s next Champions League match due to suspension.
  • He was substituted in the 89th minute and appeared unhappy, though Hansi Flick said the reaction was understandable and not an issue.
  • It was Barcelona’s fifth straight match conceding first; the victory moved them to 14th in the league phase, two points off eighth.
