In 2022, SG Eintracht Frankfurt celebrated the biggest success in the club's history with the win of the Europa League. On the way to the European Cup title, the people of Frankfurt experienced numerous magical nights. However, the night of nights was probably today, exactly three years ago. The Eintracht squad was a guest in the legendary Camp Nou of FC Barcelona after the 1:1 draw in the first leg.

What was scheduled as an away game on paper turned out to be a home game for the Hesse team. The SGE fans took over the Catalan capital and the football temple in no time and cheered their team to a 3:2 victory together. If there was any holding back during the 90 minutes, it was definitely no longer the case after the final whistle.
Nearly 30,000 Eintracht fans celebrated under the stars of Barcelona, advancing to the semifinals. The rest, as they say, is club history.

🔥 Clever header and offside fortune? Wirtz rescues nervous Germany
Just a few minutes after the restart, there's finally some life in the Nations League semi-final between Germany and Portugal. Almost-Liverpooler Florian Wirtz skillfully scored with a header after 48 minutes, relieving a so far erratic DFB team. Even if the correctness of the goal remains questionable. Indeed, Julian Nagelsmann's team had already had some chances in the first half, personified by Nick Woltemade or Leon Goretzka, but the match was not really fun or exciting. Both teams were far too error-prone in their build-up play, with the semi-final largely characterized by misplaced passes and many fouls. Advertisement But the perfectly placed Wirtz header, assisted by captain and jubilarian Joshua Kimmich, was of course first class. Let's hope it was just a taste of a much more enjoyable second half. For the sake of completeness, it should also be said that Wirtz was also somewhat lucky with the goal. Because teammate Nick Woltemade was presumably offside at Kimmich's pass and technically interfered with the game, even though he did not touch the ball himself. The referee looked at the scene again on the monitor, but ultimately decided on a goal for Germany. The right decision? Feel free to write your opinion in the comments!

Chelsea win race to sign Ipswich striker Delap
Chelsea beat off competition from Premier League rivals to sign English striker Liam Delap from Ipswich on Wednesday for a reported fee of £30 million ($41 million) Delap, 22, scored 12 Premier League goals during his sole season at Portman Road but could not prevent Ipswich making an immediate return to the Championship. Advertisement Manchester United and Everton were also reportedly willing to meet the buyout clause in the England under-21 international's contract. But Chelsea have won the race for the former Manchester City forward, bolstering their attacking options ahead of the Club World Cup in the United States, starting later this month. "I understand the stature of this club and can see the trajectory it is on with these players and the head coach," said Delap, who has signed a six-year contract, in a Chelsea statement. "It's going to be an incredible place for me to develop, and I hope to achieve amazing things here and help the club win more trophies." Advertisement The Blues finished fourth in the Premier League and will return to the Champions League next season after a two-year absence. And Enzo Maresca's men last week beat Real Betis 4-1 in the Conference League final to secure a trophy in the Italian manager's first season in charge. In mid-December Chelsea were within touching distance of eventual Premier League champions Liverpool before hitting a rocky patch. They finished the season strongly, securing a top-five spot on the final day of the season but were hamstrung by their lack of a clinical number nine. Senegal international Nicolas Jackson scored just 10 times in 30 Premier League appearances, while Christopher Nkunku looks set to leave the club after an underwhelming two-year spell. Advertisement Delap, the son of former Stoke midfielder Rory Delap, began his career at Manchester City but struggled to break into Pep Guardiola's star-studded first team. After loan spells in the second tier with Stoke, Preston and Hull, he was snapped up by Ipswich in a deal worth up to £20 million after they won promotion to the Premier League a year ago. Delap was one of the few success stories for the Tractor Boys during a difficult season as they were relegated back to the Championship with just 22 points. Chelsea will face Flamengo, LAFC and ES Tunis in the group stages of the Club World Cup, which gets underway on June 14. kca/jw/bsp
