Frankfurt are the first team to return to the Camp Nou in the Champions League as they take on Barcelona this evening.
The Blaugrana have settled back into their old home after it reopened following major renovations, and fans will be delighted to flood the stands for a night under the lights in Spain.
However, Hansi Flick’s men have their work cut out for them. They are 18th in the standings, and three points from the automatic qualification places for the next stage of the competition.
Frankfurt, meanwhile, are even further adrift, with just four points to their name.
