"Barcelona enjoyed a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League in midweek but remain two points off the top eight - and automatic qualification to the next round - following the completion of the latest round of fixtures. Hansi Flick's side sit down in 15th place in the table with 12 points from six games and a goal difference of plus three ahead of their final two matches in the group phase against Slavia Prague and FC Copenhagen."
"Flick admitted as much after seeing his side come from behind to beat Frankfurt. "We have to focus on ourselves and on getting six more points than we have now. Of course, goal difference is important," he said. "We're taking it game by game. It's not easy to play in the Champions League. All the opponents hurt you. They fight. It's the top competition in Europe and perhaps the world.""
Barcelona beat Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 in midweek but remain two points outside the Champions League top eight after the latest round. The side sit 15th with 12 points from six games and a +3 goal difference, with two group matches remaining against Slavia Prague and FC Copenhagen. Five teams — Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Atalanta — have already qualified for the knockout phase. Two points separate sixth-placed Inter from Barcelona in 15th. Victories and an improved goal difference are essential to secure automatic progression rather than facing the play-offs.
