You can finish 6th in your league, which gives five tickets to the champions league, and you need to… miss the final game on purpose to qualify for the top club competition?
And yet it happens in the case of Eintracht Frankfurt!
After the victory achieved by Borussia Dortmundover Paris Saint-Germain, Germany secured both math and fifth ticket for the CL of the new season, as one of the two countries with the best harvest in the current season.
Nevertheless, the Germans may secure a sixth ticket to the Champions League if the Westphalians conquer the event and at the same time terminate at fifth place in the Bundesliga, in which they are – at -5 from 4th Leipzig – three turns before the finale.
Somewhere here, Eintracht is involved, which is in 6th place in the standings. To benefit from this… crazy scenario, they basically have to keep their position, which is relatively easy since they are 5 points away from 7th Freiburg, while also… helping Leipzig finish 4th, leaving Dortmund in 5th !
How can this happen; But of course to be defeated on May 18 at home by Leipzig in the 34th and last matchday of the Bundesliga, so that the 5th ticket will be transferred to them, as long as, of course, Dortmund wins the Champions League!
