How do Barca go from beating Real 4-0 to 2-0 down against Frankfurt?

because I bet them that’s why.
Frankfurt are just a different beast in cup competitions. They are so good at building up some club wide momentum, that carries them through these games. In the last five years or so they made the domestic cup final twice (beating Bayern once) and now it looks like they will make their second EL semi.

Looks like Glimt has finally run out of steam, sadly.

They've done incredibly well over the last couple of years, but all good things comes to an end.

Well, 7th in la liga beat bundesliga champions elect, so it's only fair that the 9th in bundes would beat the 2nd in spain

Also always nice to see a team in all white beating the cnuts like drums in their stadium :drool: :drool: :drool:

West Ham 2-0, what were people saying about Rice again? :D

West Ham and Rangers have been the best teams in the Europa League this season. If they win it, it'll be deserved.

Declan Rice making a big point of kissing and pointing at the badge. Must mean he’s staying.

I’d love to see Leicester win the conference league and West Ham win the Europa.

I don't think anyone said "he can't score via multiple deflections and the keeper moving out of the way" as a reason not to buy him, to be fair.

If they did, they have indeed been proven very wrong. :wenger:

That first half shows you why Barcelona want Christensen and Mazraoui.

At this point do you rate Declan Rice is a litmus test to see if anyone knows feck all about football.
Ah, he's silenced the critics with that, like Maguire against Andorra. :drool:

Could be an english hattrick in Europe this season
What does that mean for 6th/7th place? Both Conference League? West Ham would go into the Champions League and Leicester would go into Europa League if they both win it.

Typical Frankfurt against a big favorite game, experienced a few like this against Bayern in the last few years.

The typical Kostic goal is still missing though.

Nope. He’s silenced the critics by consistently being one of the best CMs in the PL for two seasons. There are no critics. Other than the usual muppets on here. Price is the issue with Rice not quality.
Correct. It's clear people don't watch him if they still don't rate him.

He’s been shite all match and trickled in a weak ass shot. You’re going on like he Kevin DeBruyne..

Of course price is the issue. I don't see many people saying Rice is shit. I see a lot of people saying we shouldn't spunk our whole summer budget on him.

I'd think twice about paying the price quoted for Rice even if it was for Makelele entering his prime. There's far better value elsewhere and signing him for that much would be insane.

Doesn't really fit as a comparison, because Frankfurt has 9-2 shots, (5-1 on target) and absolutely deserves the lead.

Barca is just toothless and Frankfurt excellent at counter attacking.

A Leipzig-Frankfurt semi final would be great fun.

Edit: ahh just realised the winners here would play West Ham. Bugger.

Maybe a final then!

We are definitely not too good for the Europa League. It's been quality this season.

Right. So why the feck are you banging on about him silencing his critics ala Maguire?

I haven’t made a single comment on his performance tonight. Go back to convincing yourself Ronaldo is the hero we all need.
See I knew your last post was aimed at me, if you have a problem say it instead of being a snide fecker..
