Expert tips Frankfurt for deep Champions League run | OneFootball

Eintracht Frankfurt gets to compete in the Champions League this season. Financially, they are outsiders compared to the absolute top teams, but they could still go far. At least, that's what Michael Ballack believes.

The former world-class player thinks the team from Hesse could go on quite a run: "Eintracht will play an important role, maybe they'll make it to the quarterfinals or even further," he said, according to the 'Frankfurter Rundschau'.

But why does he see SGE playing so far at the top? "The team is super stable. Coach Dino Toppmöller has established himself with his calm and balanced manner as well as his expertise, and he is an absolute fan favorite."

Ballack is probably also thinking of Eintracht's past European cup adventures, where they often went far with their passionate supporters behind them. The expert sees this as a trump card even now: "Added to that are the incredible fan base and the euphoria," says Ballack. "With a bit of luck, they could be one of the big surprises."
