URGENT UPDATE: Eintracht Frankfurt is set to host Galatasaray this Thursday in the opening round of the UEFA Champions League. The match kicks off at 3:00 PM EDT at the iconic Deutsche Bank Arena in Frankfurt, Germany, and fans worldwide are eager to see how these two teams will start their European campaigns.
Frankfurt, coming off a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, is looking to bounce back. Despite having a strong start to the season, the Eagles are desperate for a win after losing their last match, even with a two-man advantage on the field. Coach Dino Toppmoller has raised expectations after a third-place finish in the Bundesliga last season, the club’s best result in over three decades.
On the other side, Galatasaray arrives in Frankfurt riding high, sitting atop the Turkish Super Lig. The Lions have been dominant in domestic play and are eager to translate that success into European glory. This match is particularly significant for former Bundesliga stars like Leroy Sane, making his European debut with Galatasaray, and Eintracht’s Michy Batshuayi, who previously played for Istanbul before returning to Germany.
