Munich (dpa / lhe) - For Matthias Sammer, Eintracht Frankfurt should simply regard the top class football as the Europa League. Then, to the surprise of everyone, the club could make it into the round of 16 in the Champions League, said Matthias Sammer on Thursday at an Amazon Prime press event. "Frankfurt has developed extremely well as a club and has now set an exclamation point at the weekend." Eintracht achieved their first Bundesliga win of the season 4-3 at Werder Bremen.
According to Sammer, Eintracht had a difficult start to the season - also because of the Supercup against Bayern. He expects, however, that the enthusiasm will be transferred again. "I think the team can show incredible quality on the pitch," emphasized the ex-professional. However, he rules out a win in the Champions League, but the challenge will make Frankfurt play enthusiastically again.
In its premiere in the premier class, Eintracht will play against Tottenham Hotspur, Sporting Lisbon and Olympique Marseille. Next Wednesday (6.45 p.m. / DAZN) Frankfurt will welcome the team from Portugal at the start of the premier class season.
