Like Borré, these are the Colombians who have marked Barcelona

In the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, there was one of the most interesting matches of the day. On April 15, Futbol Club Barcelona and Eintracht Frankfurt met at Camp Nou. A match of those. Intense until the last minutes and with expulsion included. A total of five goals were scored. The scoring opened after four minutes, from the penalty spot, after a foul by Eric Garcia. The visitors, through Filip Kostić, scored the first goal of the match.

At minute 36, the painting of the week appeared. Colombian Rafael Santos Borré sent himself a great goal that made the culé fans even applaud. A bomb. The striker dedicated the goal to Freddy Rincón, the former footballer who died on the night of April 13. He celebrated by pointing to the number 19 on his shorts, the same number that for many years he wore 'El Colosso' on his back, wearing the Colombia team jersey. With this goal, the former River Plate player reaches 9 since his arrival on the German team. He has participated in 40 matches so far this season, adding all the competitions, and registers 6 assists.

The second half was marked by the mistakes of the Catalan team. In the 67th minute, Kostić himself scored the third goal of the match. It seemed that everything was liquidated, but Barcelona did not stop attacking. Around the 90th minute, after the VAR cancelled an offside goal to those led by Xavi, the fans managed to score a goal after a shot by Sergio Busquets. Many were already retiring from the stadium when very close to the end the referee punished a penalty in favor of Barcelona. It is Memphis Depay who scores the goal at the 90+11th minute. A minute earlier, at Frankfurt, player Evan N'Dicka was expelled.

In the end, Frankfurt ends up sealing its way to the semifinals and Barcelona says goodbye to its chance of winning the European title this season. While the news was the elimination of Xavi's team, the press focused on Santos Borré's tremendous goal. With this goal, the Colombian joins the list of coffee players who have scored for the Catalan club. With him, there are already 10 names that have been able to shout a goal against the culés.
