Tickets, fan festival, public viewing: This is how the final journey of Eintracht Frankfurt works | hessenschau.de

More than 100,000 fans in Seville, state of emergency in Frankfurt: Eintracht’s Europa League final against Glasgow Rangers breaks all records. How and where do you celebrate? Are there still tickets? And who drops out? The most important questions and answers.

Eintracht Frankfurt meets Glasgow Rangers in the Europa League final on Wednesday (9 p.m.) in Seville. So far the sober facts. However, you can already feel that there is almost nothing normal and sober about this game. The most important questions and answers about the big endgame.

what it’s okay once again?

Eintracht Frankfurt and Glasgow Rangers are indeed fighting for the Europa League title at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in Seville on May 18. For Eintracht it would be the second international success in the club’s history – and the first in 42 years. For the Scots it would also be the second international success in the club’s history – and the first in 50 years. There have probably been teams with less greed for a trophy in a European final.

Is there versionwhat about the teams?

Eintracht will definitely have to do without defender Martin Hinteregger in the final. The Austrian picked up a hamstring injury in the semi-final second leg against West Ham and will miss the clash with Rangers. Tuta and Makoto Hasebe are available as alternatives. There is also a question mark over offensive power Jesper Lindström. The Danes also have tweaks in their thigh muscles, but there is still hope for him. “He’s pain-free, that could be a precision landing,” said sporting director Markus Krösche.

The opponents from Glasgow survived the grueling semi-final duels with RB Leipzig without any major aches and pains, but there are still a few personnel problems: The Colombian striker Alfredo Morelos, with 19 goals the most prolific professional in the squad, will definitely miss the final. Jamaican striker Kemar Roofe, the third most successful Rangers player with 16 goals, is also a question.

How will the concord accrue?

It is clear that coach Oliver Glasner will not change anything in the system. The 3-4-3 with a back three when in possession of the ball and a back five on defense has proven its worth, the team is well-rehearsed. In terms of personnel, there are also only a few question marks. In the defense headquarters Glasner has the choice between Tuta and Hasebe. Should Tuta play, which is the more likely option, Almamy Touré would take the right-half position. On the double six, Djibril Sow and Sebastian Rode are in the lead. Should Lindström drop out, Jens Petter Hauge can play again.

Which shirt will unity bear?

As in the brilliant 3-2 win in Barcelona and the 2-1 win in London against West Ham United, Eintracht will also appear in white in the Seville final. “We rocked Europe in white. We’re called the Bestia Blanca,” emphasized board spokesman Axel Hellmann. “We just have to play in white.” The white beast should get the title in front of the white fan wall.

When travels the unity?

The closest parallel to the successful performances in Barcelona and London is the sequence of departures. As before the quarter-finals and semi-finals, Eintracht will complete the final training session on Tuesday afternoon on home soil before the Frankfurt entourage sets off for the airport and final city. In the evening there is a press conference, a short inspection of the square and the official Eintracht reception. The rest is final day.

As many Fans are expected in Seville?

Nobody can predict this number exactly. But it is clear that Seville will be firmly in German-British hands for a few days. Rangers are expected to have at least 70,000 to 80,000 supporters in Andalusia, with other estimates assuming up to 100,000 Glasgow fans. Comparatively few, but still a board, there are the expected 40,000 to 50,000 Frankfurters. “It’s going to be a rush that this city hasn’t seen before,” said Hellmann.

Is there somewhere else tickets?

It goes without saying that this mass of fans will not fit completely into the stadium. That the demand for tickets is causing black market prices to skyrocket, too. For a three-digit price, there is nothing more in the various and more or less serious portals. If you didn’t get anything through the official channels, you have to dig deep into your pocket and pay well over 1,000 euros. Per person, per ticket, for 90 minutes of football.

What are fans doing without Tickets?

Either way, depending on the calculation, well over 100,000 football fans from Scotland and Hesse will still not be able to follow the game in the stadium in Seville. The crucial question for the city and those affected: where to go with the people and the emotions? The good news: In consultation with the clubs, UEFA is currently planning two XXL public viewings in two central areas for up to 50,000 fans each. Eintracht has also planned a fan festival on the Prado de San Sebastian. The most prominent acts: Tankard, Celo & Abdi as well as Roy Hammer and the Pralinées. where are the hands

What expected the fans in the stadium?

In contrast to the Frankfurt fan festival or the warm-up in Seville – either the most beautiful or the most touristy – tapas bars, there is a strict ban on alcohol in the final stadium. Although UEFA allowed the consumption of beer again a few years ago, the taps in Spain’s stadiums remain dry.

How is that weather in Seville?

The already mostly unquenchable thirst of traveling football fans will be further intensified in Seville by the weather. Temperatures in the city will rise above 30 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday. Eintracht, Rangers and all fans have to get ready for midsummer. So: Drink a lot (especially water) and don’t forget the sunscreen.

Where watch the fans in Frankfurt the final?

In addition to the happy Frankfurt fans who were able to get a ticket for the final and those who watch the game in Seville at a public viewing or in a pub, there are also tens of thousands of people who stayed at home. Option number one for many: the public viewing in the Frankfurt stadium. However, since that is already sold out, there should be a smaller version for 5,000 to 6,000 Eintracht fans in front of the arena. “There will be more than 50,000 people in and around the stadium,” Hellmann summarized the euphoria. Mind you: “There is no game in the stadium, there is a screen.”

Should Eintracht bring the pot to Hesse, the day after the final there will be a big title break including a reception for the team at the Römer. The plane from Seville will land at Frankfurt Airport in the early evening, from there it will take convertibles towards the city center, just like the 2018 cup triumph. A traffic chaos in Frankfurt’s after-work traffic would be unavoidable, but bearable. Since Eintracht expects more than 200,000 people to celebrate on the streets if they are successful, it is probably better to leave the car anyway.

The nine bridal couples, who wanted to celebrate their civil wedding on May 19 in the Römer, may have cursed the unity from time to time in the past few days. In view of the expected rush of fans, all weddings were canceled and relocated by the city at short notice. However, so that these 18 Frankfurters will also be on good terms with Eintracht in the future, the team has already promised a few gifts and invitations to games as compensation. “We’ll come up with something,” promised Ansgar Knauff. “A gift, jerseys, anything. Or they just celebrate with us.”
