SAME SHAPE, SAME RESULTS
Both teams set up with exactly the same shape as the first leg.
Frankfurt cut off Barca’s passing lanes to the midfielders. The ball went back and forth across the defence. Then eventually out to the wingers.

With no route through the middle, Barca looked to attack down the flanks with combinations between Ferran/Gavi and Dembele/Pedri.
Frankfurt were ready for this, and created 4 vs 2 advantages in these areas. It was too rigid & predictable from Barca.
