Where does it come from?
Barcelona was eliminated tonight (Thursday) from the Europa League in the quarter-finals, after a 3: 2 home loss to Frankfurt that set 4: 3 for the Germans in the sum of the two games.
Barça just did not come to the game at the Camp Nou.
Already in the fourth minute, Philip Kostic gave the visitors the lead with a penalty, after Garcia caught Lindstrom in the box.
In the 36th minute Rafael Bora doubled the result with a crazy goal, with a kick from outside the box that was stopped only by connections by Ter Stegen and Kostic completed a pair in the 67th minute.

In extra time Sergio Busquets and Pepis Defay in Pendel managed to shrink and provide a mini-drama, as another goal would have forced extra time (no away goal advantage), but right after Defay's goal in the 100th minute, the referee whistled for the end.

Bora with an amazing kick for connections,
Barcelona, who started the season very badly, recovered and are in an amazing period for them, dreamed of lifting the European title after being relegated from the Champions League, but as mentioned the dream was cut short already in the quarterfinals, and in a pretty resounding way.
Along with Frankfurt, West Ham and Leipzig also joined it in the semi-finals.
The Hammers did it with an impressive win of their own - 0: 3 over Lyon (1: 1 in the first game) - from goals by Craig Dawson (38), Declan Rice (44), and Jarrod Bowen (48).
The Germans came up after 0: 2 against Atlanta (1: 1 in the first game), thanks to a pair of Christopher N'Conco (18, 87 on penalties).
