The hopes of the spontaneous fans of Eintracht Frankfurt for participation in the next “magical” European Cup night are built on sand. All tickets for the semi-final first leg of the Hessen in the Europa League against FC Chelsea on 2 May (Live on DAZN) are already sold out.
This was announced by Eintracht on Friday morning after a 2-0 draw in the quarter-final return leg against Benfica Lisbon.
The Bundesliga team had sold so-called “blind date passes” for the knockout round, and 48,000 spectators in the sold-out World Cup arena had also watched the decisive victory against the Portuguese. The second leg of the preliminary round in London will take place on 9 May.
Besides the pairing between Frankfurt and Chelsea, FC Valencia and FC Arsenal will play in the second semi-final.
