Pre-match comments Barcelona vs Frankfurt
The recent performance of coach Hansi Flick's team is gradually reaching the necessary stability. Looking at the last 8 official matches, Barcelona has only lost once, the rest are 6 convincing wins and 1 draw. They still know how to explode even when falling into a difficult situation, the clearest proof is the "crazy" comeback on Real Betis' field last weekend.
That sublimation comes not only from the strong scoring performance, but also from the strong fighting spirit that Flick has brought to the team. Barcelona's fast attacks, flexibility in positional exchange, and high-intensity pressing ability always put the opponent in a state of tension. That is the reason why Camp Nou has become a "death ground" for every visiting team. In the last 6 home matches, Barcelona has won all, and many times made the opponent fall apart.
While Barca are on a roll, Frankfurt are in disarray. In their last 13 matches in all competitions, Frankfurt have only won 3. More notably, Frankfurt are extremely fragile when playing away from home. They have only won 1 of their last 6 away matches. Losing 0-6 to Leipzig at the weekend was a huge blow to the team's morale, exposing a loose and disorganized defense. And remember, not long before that, Frankfurt were beaten 5-1 by Atletico Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano.
In that context, marching to Camp Nou at this time is no different than “going into the tiger’s den” for the German team. Barcelona is in high form, the force is stable, the attacking pillars are all in the groove. On the contrary, Frankfurt came to Spain in a state of disarray, weak defense, the attack lacked innovation. The gap between the two teams is clearly too big, so the chance of the away team creating a surprise is very small.
Frankfurt have conceded 14 goals in just five Champions League games this season, an average of nearly three goals per game. If they continue to play with the same chaotic defense as they have in recent times, it is inevitable that they will have to pick the ball out of the net many more times against a "fierce" Barcelona. All of these factors make the result of the match almost certain. Barcelona not only has the advantage, but also has all the conditions to create a big win.
