NDTV
Europa League: Ansgar Knauff scored a brilliant goal as Frankfurt held Barcelona to a 1-1 draw in their quarterfinal first leg match.
Frankfurt's Ansgar Knauff scored a sensational half-volley from outside the box against Barcelona in their Europa League quarter-final first leg clash on Thursday. Frankfurt won a corner early in the second half and the cross into the box was headed out, but the ball fell kindly for Knauff just outside the box. The 20-year-old took a touch with his left foot to bring it down before unleashing a powerful half-volley with his right foot. The ball swerved as it rocketed into the top-right corner, giving Marc-Andre ter Stegen no chance in the Barcelona goal.

However, Barcelona equalised through Ferran Torres, who capped off a lovely team move.
