With a spot in the UEFA Europa League semifinals on the line, Barcelona and Eintracht Frankfurt are on level terms heading into the second leg of their quarter-finals matchup on Thursday at Camp Nou.

Two players who have been crucial for Barcelona in Europa League play are Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. They are the team’s joint top scorers with two goals. Eintracht Frankfurt’s main attacking threat has been Daichi Kamada, who has scored on four occasions in the current Europa League campaign, including one match-opening goal.
