Barcelona are without Dani Alves for tonight's Europa League clash with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Sergino Dest is not fit to provide cover for the Brazilian due to a hamstring complaint, which has forced Ronald Araujo out wide. Starting at the Camp Nou on Saturday was Alves, but the veteran continues to be absent for European matches having not been registered for the competition. The Catalans travel to Germany for the first leg of their quarter-final tie off the back of major La Liga victories over Real Madrid and Sevilla.

For the second straight season, Lyon both (a) play attractive, possession-based football and (b) drop more points than they should. (They're also back in the Bundesliga's top four, which probably means a bit more to them.) (They were sixth last season as well.) Since Jesse Marsch took over from Marcelo Bielsa in late February, Leeds have won a couple of late thrillers to cut their relegation odds a bit, but it's safe to say that the drama, both on the pitch and on the table, probably isn't over just yet. (Relevant category: percentage of a team's matches that take place with the score within one goal.) Last season's least watchable team, Cadiz is actually scoring and allowing even fewer goals this time around (they're winning less, too). Their matches are usually close, but that's not enough to prevent a repeat in the No. 98 spot. (Relevant category: direct speed, a Stats Perform measure of how many meters a team's average sequence advances the ball.) Entertaining big matches (15%): In heavyweight-versus-heavyweight matchups, we can often see an overwhelming amount of caution.

(Relevant category: points per game in league play.) Shots and goals (and the things that create them) are undeniably fun, especially when you are both taking and allowing them. Shots and goals (36%): Traditionalists in every sport will always point out how a good defense can be fun, too, and harrumph when things get a little too high-scoring.

He can offer a bit of balance to the team, when it comes to drawing a line between attack and defence. A centre-back by trade, Araujo has played at right-back in the past.

HIs contributions in the Europa League cannot be understated at all, with the attacker racking up two assists in the important win over Napoli.

While Gavi and Pedri struggled to find any sort of control in this game, Busquets was the only one keeping Barcelona composed. While he constantly tried to link up with the midfield by dropping deep, barely any of his passes came off. Was committed as ever off the ball, but did not impact the game like he would have wanted to. He looked lost more often than not and could not link up with his teammates well enough. Was subbed off with an injury at the 23rd minute. Busy night for ter Stegen who was called into action very early in the first half.

Ferran Torres has finished off a superb Barcelona team goal this evening with Ferran Torres and Frenkie de Jong linking up brilliantlty.

The goal epitomised Barca’s play over recent weeks, and while they haven’t been at their best in Frankfurt this evening, they are still capable of a moment of magic. Ansgar Knauff put the home side ahead, but Barca have responded six minutes after the hour-mark, and what a goal it was. The Blaugrana have come up against a solid Eintracht Frankfurt side this evening in their Europa League quarter-final first leg this evening.

Braga were unfortunate not to have won by more after Ricardo Horta hit the post while the same player had a 25th-minute goal chalked off by VAR for a foul on Ryan Jack in the build-up. "Frankfurt were tough – they made things difficult. Frankfurt were reduced to 10 men for the final 12 minutes when Tuta picked up a second booking after a mistimed challenge on Pedri. "It's almost a bit annoying that we didn't hold on for the win, but anything is possible for the second leg." The main thing was that we were patient and the reward was that we got a good equaliser." "To go behind but end up drawing might end up a very valuable result for the second leg," said Torres.

Bodø/Glimt also earned a draw in the return match in Italy, and has eliminated Celtic and AZ Alkmaar in the knockout stage.

The introduction of Ousmane Dembele and Frenkie de Jong only furthered Xavi's calling as a clairvoyant. Yet, by lowering the breathless tempo, the Catalans had to settle for sterile possession in front of a Frankfurt blockade itching to sprint forward. Ousmane Dembele (RW) - 7/10 - Provided a standard of accuracy and precision with his creativity that was lacking in the performance of the man he replaced, Traore. Borussia Dortmund-loanee Ansgar Knauff finally gave Frankfurt the lead they heartily deserved three minutes after the interval. Ferran Torres (LW) - 6/10 - Flitting in and out of the game, Torres provided a clinical finish on an evening when much of the space he likes to dart into was narrowed. Flying forward after every turnover, the Bundesliga's ninth-placed side left their lavender-clad visitors treading through treacle.

Braga had a good plan and did what was needed after Abel Ruiz's goal put them ahead in the 40th minute, but they'll have to be careful in the second leg to ensure their lead is retained. He'd make up for it, however, scoring in the 41st minute to level things heading into the half. While Creswell won't be available for the second leg in France, West Ham have shown before that they can't be counted out of any match. It was a match that could've been a landmark victory for Frankfurt, but Tutu's dismissal in the 78th minute meant that they'd have to hold on for dear life in the latter stages. West Ham also struggled in their 1-1 draw to Lyon, but considering the circumstances, David Moyes will likely be happy with the result. Goals were hard to come by in the first legs of the Europa League quarterfinals, but red cards and drama were on display everywhere on a Thursday slate that was anything but boring.

At a packed Camp Nou, Frankfurt have to come out and play, and that should suit the Catalans. In patches they were good but not great. Thankfully for all concerned with the Camp Nou outfit, they remain in the box seat to qualify to the semi-final, and one has to contend that the blaugranes can’t possibly play as badly for long periods again.

"We knew that Frankfurt is a strong team, especially with their fans on home soil. We must build on this result in the second leg next week. Barcelona remained dangerous and came to a promising chance in the 17th minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang fired the ball from a tight angle into the side netting.

Xavi Hernandez asked his FC Barcelona charges these two vital questions when taking over as head coach.

and the second was "are you willing to enter [the match] in the 92nd minute?" The first was, "are you willing to run for the team?" The Blaugrana faced one of their toughest tests yet in Frankfurt last night against a young, fast and game Eintracht outfit in their Europa League quarter-final first leg tie.

FC Barcelona resumed their UEFA Europa League campaign with a 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt, in a first-leg quarter-final tie at the Deutsche Bank Park.

And it appears the statistics now back that up as well, with the Dutchman having registered an impressive total of three assists in his last seven competitive matches. His ability to offer attacking support in the final third came to the fore when he linked up with Ferran to completely bamboozle the opposition defence. As iterated earlier, Barcelona were quite underwhelming in the first half. The improved numbers are a testement to the improvement Xavi has introduced to his game and it only bodes well, not just for the player, but for the club as well. While Dembele had a role to play in the build-up to the equaliser, it was de Jong who stole the show with a majestic shift. It was quite a crucial start for Busquets as well, as the veteran played a vital role in securing a draw for Barcelona. He was tailor-made for a game like this, as the Spaniard utilised his game-sense expertly to break off many potential counter-attacks for Eintracht Frankfurt.
