Eintracht Frankfurt has made the dream come true for itself and the fans: Europa League winner.

On the night of Thursday (May 19), Frankfurt's city center turned into a single party zone.

In addition to peaceful motorcades and cheers, there were also riots after the final victory.

The police reported "clashes and damage to property" via Twitter.

The state of emergency in Frankfurt is likely to last all day.

"It's a sea of ​​shards," said a police spokesman on Thursday morning (May 19) of the dpa.

Among other things, a radio car from the first police station was trampled by celebrating people after they had climbed onto the roof.

On the other hand, many fans celebrated the Eintracht victory loudly and exuberantly on the streets, but without violence.

The city of Frankfurt is expecting around 100,000 revelers to receive the cup heroes on the Römerberg, which was scheduled for around 7 p.m. in advance.

Four inner-city car parks have been closed since the morning due to the expected rush, and there are restrictions on tram traffic.

I really want to win the cup.

He made that clear again at an evening event on Tuesday (May 17).

Fischer has a very special reason why Eintracht has to win the cup.

"I want to drink out of this damn cup tomorrow, I want it.

You're not here to drink and eat for free - what we do here is doping." He classified the value of a cup win in his own way: "Winning the European Cup is a thousand times better than sex.

Because these trophies are damn, damn rare.”

On the Römerberg in Frankfurt, preparations are already under way for Eintracht to win in Seville.

Should SGE win the Europa League final against Glasgow Rangers, a big party is planned for the day after (Thursday) in the middle of the city.

A number of tram lines would be canceled and access routes such as the Mainkai would be closed to car traffic.

According to a report by the Hessenschau, the city made it clear: "Anyone who is not a football fan and does not want to celebrate with Eintracht is well advised to avoid downtown Frankfurt on this day as a precaution."

Eintracht Frankfurt in the final of the Europa League - city in a state of emergency

First report from Tuesday, May 17:

Frankfurt/Sevilla – The game of games is coming up for Eintracht Frankfurt.

On Wednesday (18 May) they face Glasgow Rangers in the Europa League final in Seville.

For Eintracht, it's an opportunity to win their first international title in more than four decades.

The euphoria in the environment is huge for both finalists.

"These are two traditional clubs that bring a lot of fans to the city," says Eintracht goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.

Around 130,000 fans are expected in Seville: 80,000 from Scotland and 50,000 from Frankfurt.

One of them even came by bike, fulfilling a promise he made ahead of the second leg against West Ham.

And a large rush of fans is also expected in Frankfurt.

The public viewing in the Eintracht Stadium has long been sold out.

That's why there should be other smaller public viewings for 5,000 to 6,000 SGE fans in front of the arena.

Eintracht Frankfurt wants to crown the sensational Europa League season

Eintracht is having a sensational season in Europe and is still unbeaten.

Eintracht Frankfurt was not afraid of big names like FC Barcelona.

With these achievements, the Frankfurters have earned a lot of respect and reputation in Europe.

A victory in the final would, however, crown the international season.

In addition to winning the Europa League title, the SBU would also be safe in the group stage of the Champions League.

Qualifying for the "premier class" would flush between 20 and 25 million euros into the SBU coffers.

The big celebrations, just in case, are already planned and prepared.

On Thursday (May 19) there will be a big reception at the Römer.

The trophy and the team that had previously signed the city of Frankfurt's golden book would be presented on the Römerbalcony.

Up to 200,000 fans are expected for a possible victory celebration on the Römer.
