Goalkeeper Kevin Trapp from Eintracht Frankfurt does not want to know about the upcoming edition of the Champions League after the 1-2 defeat on Sunday in the home game against Union Berlin.
Kevin Trapp was quite served after the surprising bankruptcy of his Frankfurt Eintracht. Despite the tour, the SBU missed the mistake of taking advantage of the competition and moving back to third place in the Bundesliga.
When asked at “DAZN” after the game, as he now evaluates the fight for the Champions League qualification, the 34-year-old became clear: “We should no longer put this word in his mouth.”
Several direct competitors had left points in front of the Frankfurters. Freiburg and Leipzig played draws and remain in fourth place with one or three points behind. VfL Wolfsburg (1-1 against FC St. Pauli), VfB Stuttgart (2: 2 against Holstein Kiel), Borussia Mönchengladbach (1: 3 against Mainz 05) and BVB (0: 1 against FC Augsburg) were unable to win in.

The only winner of the match day is the surprise team from Mainz, which the Frankfurters have now overtaken and is sensational in third place.
Trapp made it clear: “We have to do our homework. We have played a good season so far and have the chance to qualify for the quarter -finals in front of our own audience. We are also quite well on the league, but such a defeat today that hurts extremely.” On Thursday (6:45 p.m. Live at RTL and on RTL+) meets the Eintracht in the round of 16 of the Europa League on Ajax Amsterdam.
Against Union, Winter-Neu access had initially taken care of the leadership. Leopold Querfeld (62nd) and Woo-Yeong Jeong (78th) turned the game in favor of the guests. From the point of view of the eagle: Substitute Hugo Ekitiké missed a penalty in added time that would have brought at least one point.
Herber performance drop in Eintracht
“When you see the second half, the defeat is not surprising that much,” summed up Trapp: “In the first half we had the game completely in our hands and in the second half it was exactly the opposite. Then we made it strong with your weapons, with the standards.”
He has no reason for the drop in performance in the course of the game. “We have to ask ourselves why this is so because we all play football long enough to know that 45 minutes in a Bundesliga game are not enough to win a game.”
