Barcelona’s Europa League exit at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt ended the Blaugrana’s European journey this season and almost certainly cost them the chance to win a trophy in Xavi Hernández’s debut campaign in charge.
Barça now turn their attentions back to La Liga as they have eight games left and sit in second place, currently 12 points behind Real Madrid with a game in hand. Los Blancos have a tough remaining schedule and have a Champions League semi-final against Manchester City to worry about as well, so it is at least possible Carlo Ancelotti’s team could drop enough points to make the run-in interesting.
