Champions League: Kounde double boosts Barcelona, Greenwood lifts Marseille
"Frankfurt struck first in the 21st minute through Ansgar Knauff on the counter but Barca's persistence paid off when Kounde scored twice early in the second half. In the 50th minute he nodded home from just inside the box from Marcus Rashford's cross and, in the 53rd, the French defender jumped high in a crowded box to head the winner from a Lamine Yamal cross."
"They have made it difficult for us. They sat very deep, had a lot of players on the back, which makes it tough, Lamine Yamal had two or three players on him all the time, Pedri told Movistar Plus. We made some adjustments at half-time, put more players up front and it worked out, we felt better and found the goals. Kounde is a guy who works hard and deserves it. We're happy with the result."
"Mason Greenwood scored twice as Marseille came from behind to claim a 3-2 victory at Union Saint-Gilloise, significantly boosting their chances of reaching the knockout rounds. The win moves Marseille to nine points from their six games and into 16th position in the league table. Union are in 25th and outside of the knockout places with six points, also from six matches."
Barcelona recovered from a 21st-minute deficit to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 at Camp Nou with two quick second-half headers from Jules Kounde. Ansgar Knauff put Frankfurt ahead before Kounde nodded in from Marcus Rashford's cross in the 50th minute and then rose to head home Lamine Yamal's cross in the 53rd. The victory moves Barcelona level on 10 points as they press for a top-eight finish and direct qualification to the last 16, while Frankfurt remain bottom with four points. Mason Greenwood scored twice as Marseille came from behind to beat Union Saint-Gilloise 3-2, moving Marseille to nine points and improving their knockout chances.
