If the Catalans classify, Eric García, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Gavi and Gerard Hammered could lose the party of gone of the semifinals in case to having seen the yellow card in front of the Germans. So much the players like the trainer are to the so much of the risk, by what will have to 'walk' with care in the terrain of the Camp Nou if they want to be part of the staff in the next round.

An Eintracht to the 'low'

The group directed by Oliver Glasner does not know the victory from does five meetings. The 'eagles' add 4 ties and a defeat, and the feelings of face to the party are not the best. However, his good walk in the continental competition, in which they are invictos, and the fact to be able to classify to the semifinals, in an event that would be historical for the club, fill of illusion to a staff that will play the crash of morning as if his 'life depended on this'.
