Barcelona's UEFA Europa League adventure ended with quite a disappointing performance at Camp Nou Stadium, but the real class act came once Eintracht Frankfurt scored their second goal of the evening.
The German side had taken the lead in the early minutes of the game, and they added one more goal to their tally when the first half was coming to an end. The goal, courtesy of an absolute stunner by Rafael Santos Borré, gave Eintracht the necessary confidence to seal a shocking result in the continental competition while playing at one of the most recognizable football venues in the globe.
Borré's goal served two purposes for the Colombian ace, and both of them were highly praised by fans and experts. The first one had to do with his performance against Los Culés, who will surely not snub him if he ends up going back to the legendary stadium.
"Rafael Santos Borré (what a goal) is the second Colombian player to score a goal against Barcelona in European tournaments. The first one was Faustino Asprilla (hat-trick with Newcastle in the 1997-98 UCL)."

Maybe being unaware of his feat, Santos Borrpe decided to share a classy gesture to the late Freddy Rincón, who passed away in the earlier hours of the day.
