20:42 – An air of deja vu
It is not the first time that the two clubs have met in a major European competition.

20:35 – Frankfurt has already started its season

I don’t see it as a face to face with Carlo Ancelotti but rather with Real Madrid, one of the most illustrious clubs in the history of football. We want to prepare in order to have every chance of winning the game. »
20:14 – “A team that will really cause us problems”, predicts Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti knows it, this Real – Eintracht Frankfurt is not a game played in advance. Even if his team starts as the favorite of this meeting, nothing is decided and the Italian coach is wary of the strength of the German team. “Last year Eintracht achieved something special because they weren’t among the favourites. They played great games, beating Barcelona at the Camp Nou with counter-attack-based football. This is a team that will really cause us problems. Thanks to the strengths of both teams, it will be a very good match,” announced the former PSG coach.
20:07 – Team compositions
Ancelotti said so and kept his word. The Italian coach of Madrid has renewed the starting lineup which won the last Champions League for this Real – Eintracht Frankfurt. Here is the Merengue starting XI: Courtois – Carvajal, Éder Militão, Alaba, F.Mendy – Kroos, Casemiro, Modrić – Valverde, Benzema (cap), Vinícius Júnior.
Opposite, no big surprises in the starting lineup composed by Oliver Glasner. He aligns a 3-4-2-1 with the presence of the French Ndicka in defense. The former Bavarian, holder last weekend in the Bundesliga, Mario Götze is on the bench. Here is the starting lineup for Eintracht Frankfurt: Trapp – Touré, Tuta, N’Dicka – Knauff, Sow, Rode (cap), Lenz – Kamada, Lindstrom – Borré.
