Barcelona staged a dramatic comeback against Eintracht Frankfurt to snatch a 2-1 victory in the Champions League, thanks largely to defender Jules Kounde's double. The Frenchman scored twice in a three-minute span, transforming Barcelona from underdogs into deserved winners.
Frankfurt had taken an early lead through a goal by none other than their star striker, but the visitors' advantage lasted just 10 minutes before Kounde equalized with a header from a cross. However, Frankfurt were back in front before halftime when another scorer levelled things up once more for Barcelona.
As the match entered its final stages, it became clear that only one team could emerge victorious and claim all three points. And so, Kounde's second goal – this time from close range – sealed the win for the home side. The victory marked a significant turnaround in fortunes for Barcelona, who will now look to build on this momentum as they continue their Champions League campaign.
The impressive display by Barcelona highlighted the growth of Frankfurt under their new coach, which saw them become one of the top contenders to secure European Cup glory next season. Despite their valiant efforts, however, Eintracht ultimately came up short against a Barcelona side that was revitalized by Kounde's heroics.
