Barcelona is forced to make a perfect game here.

After a lazy match in the previous game (as they did away against Galatasaray in the previous round), Barcelona drew 1-1 (and they can consider themselves lucky for that result, Barcelona must make a perfect game. There are no excuses, they are obligated to win this tournament (the only real chance to get a title) and are the main favorites, plus the rival isn’t a top team in europe.

I’m sure that the version we are seeing lately of Barceona isn’t the best, they just know that they are better than their rivals and are not playing at 100%. Even coach Xavi is sending the same message with his rotations.

But today, they must give the best. That’s why I’m expecting today the best lineup, with Pedri back to the first eleve (he rested on the weekend’s game against Levante.

On the other hand, Eintracht Frankfurt showed that they are a dangerous and very physical team, able to make their plan successfully. They dont mind being dominated, as they did against Betis and Barcelona, because they know that they will have some chances on the counters.

In the Bundesliga they are in the worst moment of the season (the opposite as Barcelona), in the middle of the table and winless in their last 6 games.

I’m expecting a match totally dominated by Barcelona. Eintracht should be a very easy team to defend if they are concentrated: Barcelona just need to avoid counters or stop them. If Barcelona dominates the game and plays at 100%, they should be able to score goals easily, as they are in great form upfront. They just need to play motivated and at their best level, something I don't doubt as they dont have any chance to fail anymore.

I’m confident we will see the best level of Barcelona and not the lazy one (again), given the importance of the match (the most important of the season for them).

巴塞罗那需要在本场踢出一场完美的比赛。

在上一场比赛中进行了一场懒惰的比赛（就像他们在上一轮对阵加拉塔萨雷的比赛中所做的那样），巴塞罗那以1-1战平（他们可以认为自己很幸运，巴塞罗那必须打出一场完美的比赛。没有任何借口，他们有动力赢得这场比赛（获得冠军的唯一真正机会）并且是最大的热门，而且对手不是欧洲顶级球队。

我敢肯定，我们最近看到的巴萨并不是状态最好的，他们只知道自己比他们的对手更好，并且没有达到 100% 的表现。甚至教练哈维也在他的轮换中传递了同样的信息。

但今天，他们必须尽力而为。这就是为什么我期待今天的最佳阵容，佩德里回到首发（他在周末对阵莱万特的比赛中休息。

另一方面，法兰克福的状态表明他们是一支危险且非常有身体素质的球队，能够成功地制定他们的计划。他们不介意被支配，因为他们在对阵贝蒂斯和巴塞罗那的比赛中做到了，因为他们知道他们在柜台上会有一些机会。

在德甲联赛中，他们正处于本赛季最糟糕的状态（与巴塞罗那相反），处于积分榜的中游位置，并且在最近的 6 场比赛中均未尝胜绩。

我预测本场由巴塞罗那主导。如果他们集中注意力，法兰克福应该是一支非常容易防守的球队：巴塞罗那只需要避免反击或阻止他们。如果巴塞罗那在比赛中占据主导地位并且发挥 100%，他们应该能够轻松进球，因为他们在前场的状态很好。他们只需要打出积极性和最佳水平，我完全不怀疑这一点，因为他们没有任何失败的机会了。

考虑到比赛的重要性（对他们来说是本赛季最重要的比赛），我相信我们会看到巴塞罗那的最佳状态。
