Frankfurt has not only qualified for the Champions League, but is also in the European Supercup on August 10th in the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki.

The opponent is still open: either it is against Liverpool FC and the German coach Jürgen Klopp.

Or Real Madrid is waiting with ex-national player Toni Kroos.

Liverpool and Real play the Champions League final in Paris on May 28th.

The men in blue can't get through anymore.

But Frankfurt is also missing the decisive punch ...

The players are sweating in the heat, the only way the water is running down them, sorry, the sweat.

85 minutes: Frankfurt dominates the game.

But: The SGE no longer comes purposefully in front of the gate.

The almost 30 degrees in Andalusia, even in the evening, obviously took a toll on both teams.

Goooooorrrrrr!

Goooorrr!

GATE!

GATE!

Compensation for the Bundesliga club, and well deserved.

The Hessians simply have a lot more of the game and a lot more chances.

And there he is again, Kostic, the hotshot!

Is he good.

The Serb goes left towards the baseline and has the ball sharply at the six-yard line in the interface between two Scots.

Borré anticipates the scene and just keeps his foot in the shot flank.

67 minutes: Huge chance for Frankfurt!

This time Goldson with the mistake in front of his own goal.

Rode puts it through straight for Kamada, who lobs the ball one-on-one over McGregor - but also over the goal.

That can, that maybe has to be the balance...

63 minutes: Toure needs treatment but can continue playing.

Can Eintracht still turn the final?

59 minutes: WATCH OUT!

Lindstrom shoots from the edge of the box.

A Scottish player deflects in the six-yard box.

But the TV pictures clearly show: The Rangers player sends the ball out with his chest, not with his arm.

58 minutes: Change at Frankfurt:

Veteran Hasebe comes on for the ailing Tuta.

Yet miss all the men in white.

In Seville in southern Spain it is still 30 degrees in the evening.

26 minutes: Caution!

There are the Rangers.

Aribo holds on from a distance, but misses the goal by half a meter with his flick.

22 minutes: Next conclusion of the Hessians.

The Bundesliga team is significantly better in the game.

In Glasgow, nothing is going in front of the goal.

The Scots play very subdued in their deep blue jerseys.

In falling, however, he can no longer overcome keeper McGregor.

As the saying goes, he's always good for a goal.

3 minutes: Frankfurt starts very briskly and plays straight forward.

Eintracht want to put pressure on Glasgow.

2 minutes: Eintracht is looking for winger Kostic.

Europa-League-Finale: Eintracht Frankfurt gegen Glasgow Rangers - Gänsehaut-Endspiel in Sevilla

Erstmeldung vom 18. Mai: München/Sevilla - Die Uefa-Pokal-Saison 1980 ging in die Geschichte der Fußball-Bundesliga ein. Denn: Alle vier Mannschaften im Halbfinale kamen aus Deutschland. Letztlich setzte sich Eintracht Frankfurt in einem spektakulären Rückspiel 5:1 gegen den FC Bayern München durch. Borussia Mönchengladbach bezwang den VfB Stuttgart. Gladbach musste sich jedoch im Endspiel, das im Hin- und Rückspiel ausgetragen wurde, der „Eintracht vom Main“ geschlagen geben.

Es war der bislang einzige Europapokal-Sieg für die Frankfurter. Genau das wollen die Hessen heute Abend ändern, wenn sie ab 21 Uhr im Finale der Europa League den Glasgow Rangers aus Schottland gegenüberstehen. Es ist ein Showdown mit absolutem Kultfaktor. Hinzukommt das altehrwürdige  Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán in Sevilla als Endspielort. Gänsehaut garantiert! Das bedeutet aber auch eine riesige Herausforderung für die spanische Polizei.

Europa-League-Finale: Eintracht Frankfurt gegen Glasgow Rangers - 150.000 Fans in Sevilla dabei

Generalkommissar Juan Carlos Castro von Spaniens Policía Nacional sprach bei einer Pressekonferenz von „einem einzigen Wahnsinn“. 100.000 schottische Fans und 50.000 Deutsche erwarte die Polizei in Andalusien, erklärte der Einsatzleiter in Sevilla.

Diesem Ansturm samt unzähliger Charter-Flüge stünden in der Großstadt mit ihren rund 750.000 Einwohnern insgesamt 3000 Einsatzkräfte der Policía Nacional gegenüber, erklärte der Generalkommissar weiter. Die Stimmung ist schier greifbar.

Europa-League-Finale: Eintracht Frankfurt gewann 1980 den Uefa-Pokal

„Ich will aus diesem Pokal saufen“, rief Eintracht-Präsident Peter Fischer in der Nacht zum Mittwoch den Gästen beim stilvollen Empfang des Fußball-Bundesligisten in einer Hacienda am Stadtrand von Sevilla zu: „Ein Europapokal-Sieg ist tausendmal besser als Sex. Weil diese Pokale gibt es verdammt, verdammt selten.“

Der SGE-Trainer blieb da schon sachlicher. „Unser Traum ist erst erfüllt, wenn wir gewonnen haben. Wir fühlen uns bereit“, sagte Oliver Glasner vor der Partie. Der 47-jährige Coach aus Österreich weiß, wie stark der schottische Vizemeister ist. Die Rangers schalteten unter anderem Borussia Dortmund im Achtelfinale und RB Leipzig im Europa-League-Halbfinale aus.

Im Video: Frankfurt-Trainer Glasner - „Jeder ist heiß aufs Finale“

"They are very robust in duels and show a great willingness to go a long way back if they lose the ball.

They are always ready to defend their own goal or to score a goal up front," explained Glasner and demanded: "We need an absolutely top performance." Bitter: His compatriot and defense chief, Martin Hinteregger, cannot play.

The 29-year-old Austrian has to pass due to a serious muscle injury in his thigh.
