The German coach went on to say that Frankfurt must pay attention to the 90 minutes from the first leg and be aware of the mistakes they made and minimize them.
According to him, currently Frankfurt must be really aware of the defense organization and focus so that they don't miss out again like in the first leg.
"We've also thought about what Barcelona might adapt, so we're ready for that. I hope Barca don't change their style of play, but they might try to find space in a different area," Glasner explained.
In line with Glasner, Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp said that currently his team's preparations were going well and his team-mates were looking forward to facing Barcelona.
"Everyone is very prepared and looking forward to this game. It's the game you bet on: the fight in this stadium in front of this crowd. But don't worry, we want to get through it," said Trapp.
In this match, Frankfurt are required to win the match if they want to qualify for the semifinals of the Europa League after in the first leg they drew 1-1 with Barcelona.
