Overview
- Jules Koundé scored twice from set pieces to secure a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt after Barcelona trailed early.
- Hansi Flick called the result “three very important points,” noting his side controlled long stretches and benefitted from second‑half adjustments that added width.
- Barcelona have conceded first in five straight matches but have rallied to win four of them, which Flick framed as a sign of strong mentality.
- Lamine Yamal was booked late and substituted in the 89th minute, showed frustration on the sideline, and drew a relaxed response from Flick who said he had no issue with it.
- Flick reiterated ongoing constraints with injuries and a thin defense, stressed improved cohesion, and emphasized that Europe leaves little margin for error to reach the top eight.
