Frankfurt furious!
Frankfurt fantastic!
Frankfurt fabulous!
Eintracht wins sensationally at big, big FC Barcelona 3: 2, is in the semi-finals of the Europa League. It is one of the biggest surprises in German European history.
GEIL costume Frankfurt!
A total of 30,000 fans are in the city, throwing a black and white party all day long. A good 25,000 of them got hold of a ticket, vacillating between astonishment and ecstasy. That’s too much for some Barcelona supporters. They leave their block for ten minutes during the break – obviously in protest because so many Frankfurters are in the stadium…
Frankfurt with a super start!
4. Minute: Lindstrom is knocked down by Garcia in the penalty area. Sure thing: 911! Kostic very cool, hammers the ball in at the bottom right. Barcelona keeper ter Stegen has no chance. Frankfurt leads 1-0. INCREDIBLE!
Barcelona then push for the equalizer. Aubameyang heads just over it (13′), Trapp raises his fists at lightning speed against Araujo (18′).
Frankfurt again: Knauff, who made it 1-0 in the first leg with a dream goal (final score 1-1), is holding on. Ter Stegen saves (34′). Then the appearance of Borré…
36. Minute: The Colombian takes the measure from 22 meters and slams the ball into the corner – 2:0! CRAZY!
Was that it in the 1st half? nope! Knauff rushes into the penalty area on the right and hits just over it.
Frankfurt strong after the break. Ter Stegen saves against Lindstrom (58th). And then the next Kostic hit…
67. Minute: Kamada lays out on the left, Kostic looks and holds on. Put it in the long corner – 3:0! CRAZINESS!
Barcelona shocked, Frankfurt plays the thing down easily. Is the 4-0 closer than the Catalans to the connection goal. Kamada narrowly misses the ball from 20 meters (79′).
Is that it? Not quite! In stoppage time, things get wild again. Busquets scores from 16 meters – 1: 3 (90 + 1). N’Dicka fouls de Jong, sees yellow-red. Depay converted the penalty – 2: 3 (90 + 11). Doesn’t matter!
When referee Dias from Portugal blows his whistle at 10:56 p.m., the sensation is complete. The rest is a black and white feast. And the next party is already waiting – in the semifinals against West Ham (28.4./5.5.).
Thank you, GEILtracht, for this magical night!
