On the 34th matchday, Eintracht Frankfurt achieved a halfway conciliatory end to the season with a win against SC Freiburg – at least one would think.
Frankfurt am Main – The Bundesliga season 2020/21 is over – also for Eintracht Frankfurt. To the 3-1 victory Despite a season without a home defeat, very few people will remember against SC Freiburg. It is much more likely that a bloody professional debut and an Instagram photo that is almost scandalous for many SGE fans will be remembered.

After the spoiled Champions League qualification, it was clear even before the kick-off on Saturday afternoon that the “Eagle Bearers” were not going to be interested in much.
This probably explained the line-up of the youngster Elias Bördner (19), who shortly after signing his professional contract was also allowed to complete his first A-squad game in the box of the Hessians.
His debut will have left him with double emphasis, especially after the 15th minute of the game, when his face met the knee of Freiburg attacker Nils Petersen (32). The result: a huge laceration, which after a short treatment did not prevent him from continuing.
After the final whistle, however, the youngster stated: “Bundesliga is something different, but it’s extremely awesome” – he’s right! Nevertheless, despite the last-minute win and goals from the two long-term injuries Almamy Touré (25, 87th minute) and Ragnar Ache (22, 90th + 3), the supporters of the Mannen vom Stadtwald will probably not remember this game with so much joy , if any.
The Frankfurt fans then became far more emotional on social media. Because shortly after the final whistle, players and staff posed for a selfie together, shot by team joker Timothy Chandler (31).
But the shot backfired with all the openly displayed EINTRACHT!

Because they hadn’t really digested the fact that the fans had missed this “historic” opportunity for the SGE, so the good mood on the Instagram photo was not really understandable for many.
And even if you had been longing for his departure for a few weeks, the lack of a responsible person on the team selfie was immediately noticeable – still sports director Fredi Bobic (49). “Fredi apparently already on the plane to Berlin,” rumored one commentator. Last but not least, the outgoing trainer Adi Hütter (51) got his “Netz-Fett” away.
On the one hand, the user couldn’t really understand why he was still posing with the team at all, on the other hand, he was happy about his position on the outer edge: “Fortunately it is on the outside, then it is easy to cut it out,” he saw Commentator positive in a way.
And also the joy that Hütter’s new club, Borussia Mönchengladbach, just missed entry into the Conference League on the last day of the game, consoled some fans a little about their own frustration.
Nevertheless, one shouldn’t grieve for too long on the Frankfurt side: Because the fact is that the SGE had a strong season with 60 points, without a home defeat, the sovereign entry into the Europa League and many footballing Bringing highlights behind you. The new managers can safely build on this!
