Barcelona v Eintracht Frankfurt live stream, BT Sport, Thursday 14 April, 8pm BST
Barcelona still have work to do as they attempt to make it through to the semi-finals of the Europa League at the expense of Eintracht Frankfurt.
Xavi Hernandez's side remain the clear favourites to triumph in this competition, but they certainly did not have everything their own way in the first leg of this quarter-final clash. Ansgar Knauff's stunning strike three minutes into the second half gave Eintracht the lead in Germany, before Ferran Torres restored parity after some neat link-up play with Frenkie de Jong.
Barcelona were expected to play on the front foot from the first whistle, but they were forced back by Eintracht in the opening 45 minutes.
Oliver Glasner's side were happy to cede possession at times, but for long periods of the first leg it was they who looked the most likely team to find the back of the net. Barcelona did look better after the break, but Glasner will have been delighted with how his team performed against such strong opposition.
Nevertheless, it would take a monumental effort for Eintracht to triumph at the Camp Nou. Barcelona have not lost at home in 2022, while they have now gone 15 games unbeaten in all competitions.
Still, the Blaugrana were pushed all the way by Levante at the weekend. The La Liga strugglers were arguably the better team on Sunday, but Luuk de Jong's goal in second-half stoppage time meant Barcelona warmed up for this game with a 3-2 win. They now sit second in La Liga, although there is little chance of them reeling in Real Madrid.
Eintracht, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing 2-1 home defeat by Freiburg. That result dealt a blow to their hopes of qualifying for European competition, with Glasner's men now five points adrift of the top six ahead of a trip to Union Berlin this weekend.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST and the game is being shown live on BT Sport ESPN in the UK.
Use a VPN to watch a Barcelona v Eintracht Frankfurt live stream from outside your country
If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal stream that decides to buffer at the worst possible moment. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below).
All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.
