Ansgar Knauff opened the scoring with a great goal for 1-0 in favor of Frankfurt vs. Barcelona | VIDEO

How much quality. Ansgar Knauff shot directly on goal and scored a great goal, impossible for Ter Stegen to stop. Frankfurt is leading Barcelona 1-0 in the Europa League.

The German cast did so a few minutes into the second half. A great opportunity came for Knauff, who received a rebound from a corner kick and took advantage of it to deliver a spectacular volley for 1-0 in favor of the local team. Ter Stegen could not do anything against a great definition.

Minutes before, the duel was being played in the middle of the field and both teams had options to score. However, it was Oliver Glasner’s men who opened the scoring with a great individual action by the scorer, who found himself unmarked in the half-moon of the rival area and, without thinking twice, bravely tried the shot.

Barcelona vs. Frankfurt: the previous

After the duel for the quarterfinals of the Europa League, the Blaugrana cast will have to face Levante, within the framework of Matchday 31 of LaLiga Santander. Xavi Hernández’s men are second in the standings of the local tournament, so they will look for a new victory and wait for Real Madrid to fall against Getafe, in order to get closer to the lead.

It should be noted that the second leg between FC Barcelona and Frankfurt will take place next Thursday, April 14 at the Camp Nou. The culés hope to be able to leave with a positive result from Deutsche Bank Park to be able to close their pass to the semifinals of the contest as a local.

The German team, for its part, will clash against Freiburg this Sunday for Matchday 29 of the Bundesliga. The ‘Eagles’ are in ninth position with 39 units, so adding three is necessary to be able to climb to the Champions League qualifying zone.
