Accompanied by speech choirs and thunderous applause from the fans, Eintracht Frankfurt ceremoniously adopted his long -time captain Kevin Trapp. 30 minutes before the kick-off of the Champions League game against Galatasaray Istanbul, the ex-national goalkeeper, who was switched to FC Paris in summer, received the lifelong club membership as a farewell gift.
“I am very, very grateful for everything I was able to experience here. Saying myself in this context is something very special,” said Trapp at the streaming service DAZN.
“You have not only become a role model, you also won titles. You are a legend in this club for all times,” said Frankfurt spokesman Axel Hellmann the 35-year-old. The visibly moved Trapp thanked the fans for the years together. “Being able to experience everything together was the greatest in my career,” said the goalkeeper and added: “I will never be completely gone.”
Trapp played a total of 383 competitive games for the Hesse. His greatest success was the triumph in the Europa League 2022. “You wrote a successful story with this club. I can only say thank you for that,” said Eintracht sports director Markus Krösche.
