And a pass, in front of the Eintracht trainer Dino Toppmöller, warned his team before the game, as he said afterwards. Goalkeeper Kauã Santos hurried out of the goal with big jumps. He arrived one step too late and foul Madisson, penalty, goal. What seemed like a little moment should be the big one of the evening. The Spurs won the second leg 1-0, Eintracht was eliminated. The big moments, Toppmöller reminded them after the game. His team, the youngest in the competition, will grow on the experiences, at the duels with Istanbul, Rome, Lyon and Tottenham. And pull strength from being failed. “We are leaving after experiencing that again.” But football is transparent, no team is the same as two months later. Two reasons for the Eintracht-does that know better than the harmony, which lost its best player Omar Marmoush to Manchester City when she had just moved into the round of 16? And so some of Toppmöller’s players may hope to compete with him again in Europe from September. If one of them is interesting for a larger club – then this view is secondary. The moment for Toppmöller and his players, he was yesterday, and that the last German representative after Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich also left the European Cup this week. First, in the small moments of this game, the Frankfurters lacked determination and courage. Activate external content instead of combining through the London defense, as it often succeeded against smaller opponents this season, Toppmöller’s eleven flanked again and again into the penalty area. The game frayed. In the hustle and bustle, most of the flanks ended on the heads of the big trace defenders, but two landed in front of the left foot and on the head of Rasmus Kristensen. He shot and headed next to it. What leads to the second reason: The experienced defenders Kristensen and Arthur Theat were rubbed in duels with opponents as they had done early in this European Cup season in Lyon. When playmaker Mario Götze picked up his thigh after about twenty minutes and limp from the field, he also went in midfield with him. Short: her heads, the old ones, Eintracht broke or over -motivated that evening. And their feet, the boys, were overwhelmed by the size of the event. Santos misplaced himself that the outside players Jean-Mattéo Bahoya and Nathaniel Brown dribbled aimlessly like striker Hugo Ekitiké. If you let someone look back and forth, without the team know something about the teams and then asked him who of the two thirds and who is fifteenth in a European top league-a clear answer would have not been made too much. Eintracht over 180 minutes to press a mediocre trace team. In the first leg, she had checked the Frankfurters for a long time. A week later it was enough for the Londoners to make a few standards dangerous. When they delayed the game for a few seconds when they just seemed to take a journey. Or when they let their Frankfurt pursuer run into the void with a few twists when the pressure grew. The more mature team moved into the semi -finals. There the Spurs meet the Norwegian club Bodø/Glimt. This distinguishes her from Eintracht, who plays five times in the Bundesliga. If she wins two games, a lot would have to happen so that it does not end up in third or fourth place. Since the Champions League has been in its modern form, no Frankfurt team has succeeded.
