Following the first leg had ended 1-1, the German side rushed into a 3-0 lead in the second and looked in dominance prior 2 late goals for Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Filip Kostic’s penalty and Rafael Borre’s superb kick were followed by another for Kostic after the half-time.<\/p>\n

However, Sergio Busquets’ attempt and Memphis Depay’s penalty set up a tight finish.<\/p>\n

Frankfurt defender Evan Ndicka was also dismissed for a second yellow card for a foul on Luuk de Jong for the spot-kick, with 9 minutes added on after a VAR act up.<\/p>\n

But Frankfurt, who are at 9^{th<\/sup> in the Bundesliga and triumphed this tournament in its previous appearance in 1980, saw out a commemorate win in front of their almost 30,000 travelling fans.<\/p>\n}

Barcelona, on a superb form since the entrance of Xavi, did not know how to deal with the Bundesliga counter-attacks and Frankfurt could have had more impact.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The hosts had possibilities of their own and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headed over in the first half prior failing to link with Ousmane Dembele’s low cross in the second.<\/p>\n

Busquets saw an initial effort declared as offside in added time prior sparking a finish with a well-taken goal, but the hosts fell short of time following Depay’s penalty just crawled over the line.<\/p>\n
