Europa League winner Eintracht Frankfurt has not only qualified for the Champions League, but is also in the European Supercup.
With a 5-4 win on penalties against Glasgow Rangers in Seville, head coach Oliver Glasner’s Hessians are in the game on August 10 at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki. The opponent is still open: either it is against Liverpool FC and the German coach Jürgen Klopp. Or Real Madrid is waiting with ex-national player Toni Kroos. Liverpool and Real play the Champions League final in Paris on May 28th.
The Hessians then have the chance to polish up the rather poor record of the Europa League winners. In the past nine years at Atlético Madrid 2018 only one Europa League champion had managed to defeat the premier class winner in the knockout game. FC Bayern won the trophy against Chelsea in 2013 and against Sevilla in 2020.
