BArcelona faced a tough opponent from Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt in Round 6 of the Champions League, and the match was difficult for the Catalan side from the start, with Ansger Knauf scoring in the 21st minute to start losing the game. However, the Blaugrana had to win this game at all costs, having lost 3-0 at Stamford Bridge in the previous round.
However, in the second half, they applied high pressure to achieve the turnaround, with top players such as Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Marcus Rashford starting to open up space and having to find Jules Kounde. Jules Kounde scored twice to give Barcelona a 2-1 victory.

Lamine Yamal sets new record in Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt
It wasn’t the best night for Lamine Yamal when he visited Chelsea on a previous Champions League matchday, but today was the cornerstone of manager Hansi Flick’s plans for Barcelona to start climbing the table with a win. And as expected, he was able to seal the comeback against Eintracht Frankfurt and write his name in Champions League history.
The Spanish youth winger overtook Kylian Mbappé to become the player under the age of 18 who has been involved in the most goals. For the 14th goal, he provided the assist for the come-from-behind goal and Kounde converted a cross to the far post to take all three points. Yamal is at the top of the list of players with many stars such as:
Lamine Yamal – 14 Kylian Mbappé – 13 Raul – 7 Jude Bellingham – 6 Rodrygo – 6 Theo Walcott – 6 Bojan Krkic – 5 Giovani Quenda Warren Zare-Emery – 5 Cesc Fabregas – 4 Ansu Fati – 4 Patrick Kluivert – 4 Obafemi Martins – 4 Wayne Rooney – 4 Eric Wallstedt – 4 Jack Wilshere – 4
What’s next for Lamine Yamal and FC Barcelona in the Champions League?
