Winning any silverware is never a foregone conclusion.
Gone are the days when the game was won when Barcelona were lining up for the kick-off at the start of games too.
It’s long since the blaugranes have been able to intimidate their opposition without even kicking a ball.
Recent form might have suggested otherwise, but Eintracht Frankfurt were never going to be overawed, particularly in front of such a partisan home crowd.
The Catalans will potentially look to the relatively early withdrawal of Gerard Pique as a major reason why they were so sloppy in Thursday night’s first leg.
