Champions League Includes Eintracht Frankfurt: Eintracht Frankfurt is competing in the prestigious Champions League this season.
Eintracht Frankfurt Prepare for Thrilling Champions League Season
Eintracht Frankfurt are set to embark on an exciting journey in the Champions League, with their last appearance in the competition ending in a round of 16 defeat to Napoli, Italy's champions in the 2022/2023 season.
The German side's Champions League journey for the 2023/2024 season begins with a clash against Tottenham Hotspur. This season, the Champions League group stage promises more top games for Eintracht Frankfurt than ever before.
Their group stage draw has presented them with challenging tests, including away games against Atlético Madrid, SSC Napoli, and FC Barcelona, and home games against FC Liverpool and Atalanta Bergamo. Eintracht Frankfurt's manager, expressing excitement about the upcoming Champions League, stated, "We wanted Champions League, we got Champions League - we're looking forward to it."
Meanwhile, Sporting director Markus Krösche sees only opportunities and no risks for the club, but has not set a clear target for progression in the Champions League.
In the midst of these high-profile matches, Eintracht Frankfurt will also be honouring a defining figure, Kevin Trapp, for his 383 appearances under the eagle banner, before the Champions League game against Galatasaray Istanbul. Trapp was instrumental in Eintracht Frankfurt's 2022 Europa League triumph in Sevilla.
However, Eintracht Frankfurt will be without the services of Kaua Santos, who tore his cruciate ligament during a decisive penalty challenge in a previous match.
On the other hand, Galatasaray Istanbul have strengthened their squad significantly, with the signing of Victor Osimhen from Napoli, Leroy Sané from FC Bayern, and Ilkay Gündogan from Manchester City. Gündogan is set to become the new leader of Galatasaray Istanbul.
The usual magic in the red-lit Waldstadion is at risk due to the high demand for tickets and the potential for fraud. Many Turkish-origin citizens want to be present at the Galatasaray Istanbul's game in the heart of Europe, leading to concerns about ticket fraud.
The home advantage of Eintracht Frankfurt might not come into play on this European Cup evening due to the high demand for tickets and the potential for fraud. The €88 million sale of Hugo Ekitike to FC Liverpool has left a gap in Eintracht Frankfurt's attack.
Michael Zetterer, the Bremen recruit who replaced Kevin Trapp, will make his Champions League debut. Youngsters and new signings to watch for in Eintracht Frankfurt's Champions League games include Can Uzun, Nnamdi Collins, Nathaniel Brown, Ritsu Doan, and Jonathan Burkardt.
Galatasaray Istanbul's president Dursun Özbek declared their mission as making the Galatasaray Istanbul brand internationally relevant again. Eintracht Frankfurt were unlucky against Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League quarter-finals in the spring, providing them with a strong motivation to make a mark in the Champions League this season.
