"Jules Kounde scored a second-half brace as Barcelona came from behind to beat Eintracht Frankfurt as Champions League football made a return to the Camp Nou. The Frenchman netted from two headers in just three minutes for the LaLiga leaders as they turned the tie on its head after Ansgar Knauff had given the Bundesliga side a shock lead before the break."
"Barcelona, hoping to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea last time out, were playing a fixture in Europe's elite club competition at their iconic home for the first time in three years following a major redevelopment project. And they were doing so requiring a much-needed victory to keep their hopes of automatic qualification to the next stage alive."
"On their first European night back home, Barcelona were predictably dominant in possession during the opening stages. Inside 10 minutes, they had the ball in the back of the net courtesy of Robert Lewandowski, but the competition's third all-time leading scorer was adjudged to have been offside following Raphinha's cross. Then, against the run of play, the visitors took the lead in the 21st minute when Knauff finished off a rapid counter after some fine work from Nathaniel Brown."
Barcelona conceded a surprise first-half goal to Ansgar Knauff but dominated possession and pressure throughout the match. Robert Lewandowski had an early goal ruled out for offside. Jules Kounde scored two headers within three minutes in the second half to overturn the deficit and secure victory. Marcus Rashford was introduced after the break and made an immediate impact within five minutes. The win improved Barcelona's standing as they chase automatic qualification, while Eintracht Frankfurt slipped further down the table and remained without a victory since matchday one.
