Frankfurt Vs Barcelona: Unlikely scorer delivers comeback victory for Blaugrana

Jules Kounde scored a brace to help Barcelona come back from a one-goal deficit to beat Eintracht Frankfurt at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona went into half time behind after a 21st minute goal from Ansgar Knauff. Barcelona improved in the second half and scored in quick succession in the 50th and 53rd minute to beat Frankfurt.

Frankfurt shocked Camp Nou in the 21st minute. A searching pass from Nathaniel Brown split Barcelona’s high line, sending Ansgar Knauff in behind.

The young German  kept his composure, steadied himself and slotted a low finish past Joan García to give the visitors an early lead. 

The second half was a different story. Flick introduced Marcus Rashford at the break for added x-factor and the change paid off almost instantly. In the 50th minute Rashford’s cross from the right found Jules Koundé, who climbed between markers to power a header home and level the match 

Three minutes later Barcelona struck again: a corner routine led to Lamine Yamal whipping in an inviting cross and Koundé rose once more to head Barcelona in front, this time to the near post. 

 Frankfurt pushed late and had flashes. Ellyes Skhiri’s work in midfield kept the visitors looking dangerous on the counter and there were anxious moments for Barça as the match closed, but Barcelona’s defence and Joan García saw the job through.
