Eintracht Frankfurt's Burkardt Shines in Champions League Debut

Jonathan Burkardt had a memorable debut in the Champions League as he scored a brace and recorded an assist, leading Eintracht Frankfurt to a 5-1 victory over Galatasaray Istanbul at the Frankfurt Arena.

Robin Koch, the captain of Eintracht Frankfurt, agrees that Burkardt has an extraordinary nose for goals. Koch also believes that it was only a matter of time until Burkardt scored a goal.
