Will there be a rematch? Bar\u00e7a will host Eintracht in the Champions League league phase, being the first match between the two since the Europa League quarter-finals in 2022.<\/h2> \r\n

FC Barcelona already knows its eight rivals for the UEFA Champions League 2025\/2026 league stage<\/a> and one of these is Eintracht Frankfurt<\/b>. The Germans were the ‘Azulgrana’ executioner in the 2021\/22 Europa League quarter-finals, after adding a historic victory in Catalonia.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a finished third in group E of that edition of the Champions League, after only obtaining 7 points derived from 3 defeats, 2 victories and a draw. The group was made up of Bayern Munich, Benfica and Dinamo de Kiev<\/b>, with the German club qualifying first with a perfect record, followed by the Portuguese club.<\/p>

This led to the ‘Blaugrana’ team being relegated to the UEFA Europa League<\/b>, a competition they had not played in since the 2003\/04 season. After eliminating Naples <\/strong>(‘play-off’) and Galatasaray <\/strong>(round of 16), Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez’s team would face Eintracht in the quarter-finals, with the ‘Azulgrana’ side as favorites.<\/p>

However, the German team ended up signing what was a season to forget for the Catalans, who were eliminated by an aggregate score of 4-3<\/b>, after a draw in Germany (1-1) and a minimal victory at the Spotify Camp Nou<\/b> (2-3).<\/p>

The match is remembered, in addition to the victory of the Frankfurt team, for the notable presence of German fans in the ‘Cul\u00e9’ temple. Many ‘Azulgrana’ members and fans chose to sell their tickets to Eintracht fans<\/a>, who populated a good part of the second and third tiers of the Estadi.<\/p>

Finally, Oliver Glasner’s team ended up taking the trophy, after beating West Ham (1-3 on aggregate in the ‘semis’) and Rangers of Scotland (1-1, 5-4 p.) in the final played at the Ram\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez Pizju\u00e1n Stadium in Seville.<\/p>
