Koundé Brace Seals Barcelona’s 2-1 Comeback Over Frankfurt at Camp Nou

Lamine Yamal will miss Barcelona’s next Champions League match after a booking.

Overview

  • Eintracht Frankfurt led through Ansgar Knauff on 21 minutes before Jules Koundé scored headers in the 50th and 53rd to reverse the deficit.
  • Marcus Rashford’s introduction provided width and the cross for Koundé’s equaliser, while Yamal delivered the assist for the winner.
  • The victory lifts Barcelona to 14th in the Champions League league phase, two points off eighth and still chasing automatic qualification.
  • Hansi Flick said the team are “more united” and downplayed Yamal’s visible frustration at an 89th‑minute substitution made with his yellow card in mind.
  • Barcelona conceded first for a fifth straight match, extending scrutiny of defensive frailties on their first Champions League night back at the refurbished Camp Nou since 2022.
