Eintracht boss Peter Fischer fights with SGE fans before the game

Update from August 10, 7:04 p.m .:

As with the triumph in Seville, Eintracht Frankfurt also held a fan festival in Helsinki for the fans who had traveled with them.

Things weren't quite harmonious there on Wednesday afternoon.

Of course right in the middle: Peter Fischer.

The Eintracht President got into a fight with an SGE fan on stage during his speech.

"I'll have you thrown out of here now," he announced after the fan had disturbed him several times with heckling.

"I'm tired of such an idiot ****.

You just never come back to the stadium, what do you want here?” Emotions ran high because in his speech Fischer rebuked his own fans, who last season had caused UEFA look closely at Eintracht.

"Yesterday I sat at the table of the UEFA President, who said very clearly: I have great sympathy for you, you have made a great journey.

But if shit happens to you, then that means a ghost game in Frankfurt, ”said Fischer.

Eintracht Frankfurt – Real Madrid in the live ticker: SGE wants to make Bayern debacle forgotten

First report from August 10:

Helsinki - With the sensational win of the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt set a highlight last season that is difficult to top.

The triumph made the next highlight possible: the duel with Champions League winners Real Madrid in the UEFA Supercup.

And now the time has finally come, the whole of Frankfurt is looking forward to the game against one of the biggest clubs in the world.

However, one cannot speak of a tailwind - against FC Bayern it was a lesson in the Bundesliga opening game.

The 1:6 debacle should not be repeated in the Supercup, even if the opponent seems similarly overpowered.

Eintracht President Fischer disappointed with Kostic's departure: "Business is messed up"

Before the special game in the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, one thing applies above all to all SGE fans: enjoy.

Who knows how quickly such moments will come again.

But one person misses the spectacle: Eintracht star Filip Kostic has agreed on a change with Juventus Turin and is not traveling to the Finnish capital.

President Peter Fischer cannot understand that.

"If you ever get the chance to play in the Supercup final, against Real Madrid.

If you then get the award for the best player in the Europa League down there on the pitch, in front of 500 countries looking somewhere, and you don't do it, then I realize how messed up the business is at the end of the day," he said him before the game.

But there should be no bad blood.

"It hurts, but that doesn't detract from Filip's performance at all," Fischer clarified.

Players come, players go - but that doesn't change the impressive fan support for the club.

Around 10,000 Eintracht fans are expected in Helsinki for another lavish European Cup night.
