Frankfurt’s edge: Liverpool hit by travel chaos before CL clash | OneFootball

No victory in the last three league games, plus the 1-0 defeat on the last Champions League matchday against Galatasaray – things just aren't going well for Arne Slot and FC Liverpool right now.

And as if that wasn't annoying enough for the English, they also encountered problems on their journey to Frankfurt. The Reds face Eintracht Frankfurt tonight at 9 PM in the third round of the Champions League.

Due to technical problems with the plane, the Reds had to endure a four-hour wait at the airport before their flight to Frankfurt could take off.

The press conference with Arne Slot before the game was consequently canceled. According to UEFA statutes, the English actually face a penalty because of this, but it is unlikely that the club will face consequences, as the delay was not their fault.

Slot himself commented on this delay on the club's website as follows: "No, this will not affect the preparation for the game. That can never be an excuse."

Regarding today's opponent, the coach is impressed: "It's somewhat similar to Galatasaray, a stadium where the fans will be really loud. We have to consider that alongside Frankfurt's quality."

What’s in store for Liverpool tonight? Can they secure their second victory in the ongoing CL season?
