Eintracht Frankfurt boss explains why his team celebrated drawing Barca in Europa League

"I'll say casually and provocatively: if you can progress against the fifth-placed team in the Spanish league [Real Betis], you can do the same against the team [Barcelona] who are third," Eintracht Frankfurt head coach Oliver Glasner has told the media.

"After we drew Barcelona, the players cheered and were happy because it's just a dazzling name. The boys went out, but I brought them back and said that the semi-finals would also be drawn. It doesn't end with Barcelona," he added.

Glasner sounds too self-confident! His side are obviously underdogs in this one and will have to show their best to have the chance to proceed.

On Thursday, Eintracht Frankfurt drew against Real Betis 1-1 after beating them away from home in the first leg 2-1.

Barcelona will face the Bundesliga side on April 7 and April 14.
