A crazy game at Estadi Johan Cruyff, as the Barça U19s came back to win late on after not the best first half. Pedro Villar, Shane Kluivert (2) and Pedro Rodríguez scored the goals as Pol Planas' team take the three points and move up into the higher echelons of the Youth League table.
Stodgy start and Eintracht score first
Barça had possession from kick-off, but were finding it hard to threaten going forward, as Nomoko and Uri Pallàs had chances easily saved by Siljevic. Eintracht attempted with counters as a warning of what was to come. The visitors then made the most of a foul on the edge of the area to make it 0-1 in the 20th minute through a powerful accurate strike by Marvin Dills.
Nomoko injury and 0-2
This uncertain period for the home side was compounded by an injury to Nomoko after 35 minutes, and more bad news was to come as Eintracht made the most of a classic counter attack, Ilicevic scoring their second in time added on at the end of the half.
Goal for each side
A lively start to the second half saw Barça make it 1-2 after 56 minutes, as Pedro Villar finished a superb Guille Fernández corner. However, the joy was short-lived as a long pass up to Marvin Dills two minutes later ended in him scoring through Aller's legs to make it 1-3.
Kluivert brace before comeback completed
It was the Shane Kluivert show from this point onwards, as the winger first made the most of a corner flicked on by Campos to score after 79 minutes. Then four minutes later, Kluivert made the most of a deal ball in the area to tie up the match.
It looked like that was it, but a Pol Bernabéu corner was finished at the near post by Pedro Rodríguez to make it 4-3 to Barça, triggering wild celebrations all round. The blaugranes were already through to the next stage of the competition, but this victory sees them end with four wins, one draw and one defeat.
