The international media are mostly convinced that FC Barcelona were lucky in the 1-1 quarter-final first leg of the Europa League against the strong team of Eintracht Frankfurt - but now have the best chance of progressing in the second leg.

"Golden draw", for example, was the big headline in the Catalan trade newspaper "Sport" on Friday.

And in Italy, numerous media comment on the game between Atalanta Bergamo and RB Leipzig.

The voices:

Spain:

"Sport": "Golden draw (...) Barça suffered from the physically strong and fast Germans.

But you got a good result and now you have the best chance of reaching the semi-finals.”

"AS": "Barça was literally overrun in Frankfurt, but miraculously escaped alive.

From what was seen on the pitch, the draw is an excellent result for Xavi's team.

Now everything will be decided at home at the Camp Nou.”

"Mundo Deportivo": "Reacted in good time.

It was a bad game from Barça but the result is good.

Eintracht was the better team for long stretches.

But Frenkie de Jong coming on and (Ousmane) Dembélé coming on was crucial.”

"Marca": "The Barça coach (Xavi) tried to rotate in Frankfurt to include all the players.

But in the end he had to go back to his usual plan to escape alive from the trap Eintracht had set for his team.

Only when Ousmane Dembélé came on did the team get the depth they lacked in the first hour of the game.”

"El Periódico": "Barça trembled in Germany because of the cold, but also because of fear.

It was a team from a time that was considered to have been overcome under Xavi: vulnerable, unstable and also insecure.

Simply because Eintracht managed to give the game the rhythm that suits the home team best (...) But after the final whistle, Barça could breathe a sigh of relief.

The final verdict will only be made in a week at the Camp Nou.”

"La Vanguardia": "In Frankfurt, Barça finally understood (if you didn't know beforehand) what a delicate situation you are in in the Europa League: you are obliged to win the trophy.

The danger of the big favorite is that there will be more headlines when he loses than when he wins.

A sword of Damocles that is difficult to live with".

Italy:

"Gazzetta dello Sport": "The squad of Atalanta's coach Gian Piero Gasperini does better than Napoleon in Leipzig.

The coach develops the right strategy and puts the opponents under pressure.”

"Corriere dello Sport": "Atalanta stays in the running.

Everything remains open between the two teams.

The semi-finals will be decided in Bergamo, another spectacular duel is to be expected.”

"Tuttosport": "Gasperini organized the game tactically well, but Leipzig are tough opponents who won't give up until the end, which made this quarter-final particularly exciting."

"Il Messaggero": "Football can be really spectacular.

Atalanta cannot be satisfied with this draw against RB Leipzig.

Atalanta are not afraid to play against a solid team.”

"Corriere della Sera": "90 exciting minutes. Atalanta proves that they can withstand the pressure of an opponent with more quality. The Lombards have the chance to make it into the semifinals."
