BARCELONA continue their quest for a first European trophy since 2015 THIS THURSDAY when they face Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany.
The Catalan giants have been in scintillating form since Xavi’s successful recruitment program in January.
And this was epitomised in the last round when they brushed aside Italian outfit Napoli 5-3 on aggregate.
However, Frankfurt have gone seven consecutive games without a loss in all compeitions.
Including a hard fought round-of-16 victory over a resolute Real Betis last month.

Frankfurt will be well-stocked for the huge clash with Barcelona with only two players unable to figure.
Christopher Lenz continues to nurse his calf issues, whilst Diant Ramaj is still recovering from a knee problem.
But Daichi Kamada shook off a foot scare and was able to play almost 70 minutes in Eintracht’s recent outing.
Elsewhere, the Barcelona treatment room is full with Ansu Fati, Luuk de Jong, Sergi Roberto, Samuel Umtiti and Serginho Dest.
Whereas Dani Alves was shockingly left out of the squad altogether so the decorated Brazilian full-back is ineligible.
