Top European Football League Competition - A million-dollar game on the sofa: The final matches matter for Eintracht Frankurt, too.
AC Milan, FC Liverpool, and FC Barcelona - these are some potential spots for Europen adventures. But the focus is on Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund as they face off this Saturday at 9 PM (ZDF and DAZN) to determine the new Champions League winner.
This match doesn't just decide the champion; it also holds immense importance for Eintracht Frankfurt. The outcome of this high-stakes game will significantly affect the European fate of Eintracht, thus impacting the Bundesliga representation for 2024/25. If Borussia Dortmund triumphs, Frankfurt, currently standing sixth, will enter the enlarged Champions League. Dortmund would continue as defending champions in this case.
However, if Real Madrid emerges victorious and recruits German national player Toni Kroos, Leonard Bailey would be playing in the Europa League instead. The Bundesliga has already secured fifth place in the coming season through a robust international competition.
The Eintracht leadership, led by Finance Director Oliver Frankenbach, is interested in a minimum of 30 million euros. Sport Director Markus Krösche said, "Our transfer strategy doesn't depend on the competition we play in."
The topic of the Champions League didn't dominate the team's thoughts. Coach Dino Toppmöller commented, "I don't get the feeling that it matters much. We can't control it too much." With a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig on the 34th Bundesliga matchday, Frankfurt defended their sixth position, earning them a chance at the Champions League. They've had one Champions League stint before, thanks to Sevilla's Europa League victory in May 2022. This time, Frankfurt's hopes hinge on Borussia Dortmund's performance rather than their own.
