Barcelona mounts second-half comeback to beat frankfurt

Barcelona continued their impeccable performance in the UEFA Women’s Champions League with a 3-1 triumph over Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

Despite falling behind just before half-time to Laura Freigang’s goal, the defending champions orchestrated a remarkable second-half comeback, securing three goals within a 14-minute span. Salma Paralluelo scored twice for Barca, flanking Mariona Caldentey’s strike.

This victory maintains Barcelona’s flawless record in the current competition, following their dominant 5-0 win against Benfica the previous week. The triumph also concludes an outstanding 8-day period for Barcelona’s women’s team, marked by a resounding 5-0 victory over domestic rivals Real Madrid in the Liga F over the weekend.

Barcelona comfortably leads Group A with 6 points from 2 matches, while Benfica, currently in joint-second place, rebounded from the loss to Barcelona with a 1-0 win over Rosengard earlier in the week, trailing the Spanish giants by 3 points.

With aspirations for a third Women’s Champions League trophy in four seasons, Barcelona has commenced the 2023 campaign in scintillating form, aiming to further solidify their European dominance.
