Like Barcelona’s playing style in general, Lamine Yamal and his friends immediately controlled the ball from the first minute in the match against Eintracht.
Robert Lewandowski scored a goal in the 10th minute, but the referee did not approve it because Raphinha was in an offside position.

Undeterred by the disallowed goal, Barcelona continued to lock down the visiting team’s defense.
When attempts to score came from various directions, Barcelona missed.Eintracht’s counterattack failed to be contained.The ball from Nathaniel Brown failed to be cut so it could have gone to Ansgar Knauff.
Eintracht’s spearhead then dribbled the ball and kicked it into the goal guarded by Joan Garcia in the 21st minute.
Eintracht’s goal sparked Barcelona to attack more actively.Die Adler seemed to be used to Barcelona’s attacks so they could read the opponent’s flow of play and reduce it.
Eintracht’s counterattack threatened Barcelona’s goal again in the final minutes of the first half.Ellyes Skhiri’s shot still bounced over the bar.
Barcelona came back with two quick goals in the second half to turn things around.The presence of Marcus Rashford who came on to replace Fermin Lopez was key.
The English player delivered a neat cross.The ball curved over the Eintracht penalty box.Jules Kounde came up with a header that sent the ball into the German representative’s goal.Goalkeeper Michael Zetterer had no chance to block.
After the score was level in the 50th minute, Barcelona scored a second goal in the 53rd minute.The connection between Rashford and Kounde seemed to be an antidote to Eintracht’s strong defense.Because Rashford’s crossing was headed again by Kounde and the score changed to 2-1.
After turning in the lead, Barcelona did not ease up on the attack.It seems that Hansi Flick’s men are aware that their one goal lead is not yet safe.
The collaboration of Rashford, Raphinha and Lewandowski haunted the Eintracht defense.Likewise with Frenkie de Jong and Ferran Torres who came on to replace Raphina and Lewandowski.
Eintracht was trying with all their might to score a return goal to gain points at home to their opponents.
Until the referee blew the long whistle the score was 2-1 for Barcelona to survive.
