The Spanish newspaper 'Sport' warned against any euphoria inside Barcelona after the recent victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, emphasizing that the team only did what was required, and that the first half revealed clear imbalances despite the significant improvement in the previous two matches against Atlético Madrid and Real Betis.

The newspaper explained that Barcelona entered the match on an upward trajectory after their big win against Real Betis, while Eintracht Frankfurt came off heavy European results, which led some expectations to lean towards a possibility of a wide victory.

However, the Catalan team had to settle for the minimum: a win and three points to keep hopes alive for entering the top eight in the Champions League, while stressing that the team also depends on other results, despite Flick's refusal to delve into that.

The newspaper mentioned that the most important takeaway from the match was the strong reaction in the second half, after Barcelona delivered a very modest first half marked by wrong passes, lack of fluidity, disorganized pressing, and struggles with the opponent’s quick transitions. One of these transitions led to Knauff’s goal that gave Eintracht Frankfurt the lead, making it the fifth consecutive match in which Barcelona fell behind, despite managing to stage a comeback in four of them.

The newspaper highlighted the outstanding performance of the team's defender Jules Koundé, who scored two headers and was decisive in the comeback, confirming that he has shown offensive development since the Sevilla match. It also pointed out Marcus Rashford, who was signed specifically to resolve complex matches and succeeded in providing the required offensive contribution.

The report confirmed that Barcelona left the match with only what was required: a win and three points, preparing for what lies ahead, given the difficulty of extracting other positives from a match described as heavy.
