FC Barcelona was eliminated from the Europa League this Thursday at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt. A 'kept' promise to Luka Modric would be the explanation for the heroic of the German team

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The elimination of the FC Barcelona of the Europe League has been a true vase of cold water for all the sectors of the barcelonismo. The group directed by Xavi Hernández split like the big favourite of the competition, because it came of the Champions and by history... But the result has been very distinct. The Eintracht won to the Catalan group with some comfort and leaving to the light all the lacks of a Barça that is still in construction.

The party of this Thursday was a proof of this and that the Barça has a lot for improving, more than what thought after the 'takeoff' in this 2022. The Eintracht believed to the end and carried his pass to the semifinals, 'comandado' by a promise that did him a player of the German group, Jakic, to Luka Modric, midfield player of the Real Madrid and one of the big 'enemies' bigger of the picture blaugrana.

Jakic Explained in the Croatian newspaper 'Sportske Novosti' that before the party against the Barça, was speaking with Modric "and in a moment said me 'have to win to the Barcelona!'". Then, the answer of Jakic to the white player was: "'Captain, promise him that we will win!'. I fulfilled my promise. When you promise something, have to fulfil it, no? Therefore Luka sent me the message 'promise fulfilled'".

The midfield player of the Eintracht does reference to the message that wrote him Luka Modric in his account of Instagram, commenting in the post of celebration that made after winning in the Camp Nou. In the same, the midfield player of the Real Madrid said "bravo, promise fulfilled", to what Jakic answered "in the moment in which it finished the party, immediately thought in you. Thank you very much, captain".

A historical disaster of the Barça

The FC Barcelona has signed his second farewell of Europe in what it goes of season and the enésima of the last years. It is a history that, whatever happens, the Barça repeats one and again, like a film that never finish. The Eintracht was the one who sank to the Barça this time, but before already were the Bayern, Benfica... A list that follows adding 'victorious' and more disappointments for the culés.
