Winning the European league is s good achievement that alot of other clubs un Frankfurt level try really hard to achieve, alot of clubs with the same level can't even reach the sumi finale and when you see the clubs that wad competing in the quarter final you really wonder how Frankfurt get the title and not Barcelona, liepzig or atalanta
I always doubted that Barcelona would be able to reach the final. For two reasons: first, this competition is not at the level of this great club, it is difficult to motivate the team to compete in this competition. Second, this season was very bad for Barcelona, perhaps the worst season they've had in the last 15 years, so any better prepared opponent had a chance of winning.
@joker_josue I’ll partially agree because while it’s true that Barcelona had a bad season, but when it Xavi took over it felt like that he would get them in to the finals, hence people were surprised to see that Barcelona were eliminated. Furthermore
Frankfurt played without any pressure as no one was really expecting them to win the league cup, and I’m really touched by their gesture to take out an ad for Rangers to win the Scottish cup (ad was done prior to the Scottish cup match which Rangers eventually won).
