FC Barcelona did not feel any home advantage as they lost against Eintracht Frankfurt 2-3 at the Camp Nou last Thursday. Manager Xavi Hernandez claims that he felt something was wrong as soon as he left the hotel to head to the stadium.
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was annoyed with his team's lack of determination as their slim LaLiga title hopes were shattered on Monday with a 1-0 defeat to Cadiz at Camp Nou.
Xavi Hernandez said Barcelona felt like they had been "robbed in their own home" after the Camp Nou was packed with Eintracht Frankfurt supporters in their Europa League defeat by the German side on Thursday. More than 20,000 Frankfurt fans managed to get tickets for the second leg, with a sea of white shirts in the stands creating a hostile atmosphere for the Barca players. Frankfurt took the lead in the fourth minute on their way to a 3-0 lead and while Barcelona pulled two goals back in injury-time they were unable to avoid losing 4-3 on aggregate.
