Eintracht Frankfurt win German cup

[DangerousSausage]

Just when we were all bracing ourselves for yet another trophy for Bayern, something delightful and unexpected happens. Recommended viewing (hope the video works in the UK).

This was Eintracht's first trophy in 30 years, so understandably there were absolute scenes!

What the video doesn't show is that fact that the referee consulted VAR twice. Once for Eintracht's second goal, as Bayern claimed a handball in the build-up. That was given as Kevin Prince Boateng attempted to move his hand away from the ball. Then the second time when Bayern claimed a penalty with the score at 2-1, which again wasn't given although Boateng (again) clearly took out Bayern's Martinez instead of the ball. No that I'm complaining  Eintracht then broke from the subsequent corner and scored the third with the last kick of the match - great stuff 

After the match the Bayern players and management through a massive mardy and disappeared without acknowledging the fans and before the trophy was presented. Only Manuel Neuer (to his credit) stayed to acknowledge the winners.

It's always great to see an underdog have their day, so it's fantastic for them really - especially the fact its the first thing they've won for quite awhile.

Now they have something to build on and push themselves further.

Great to see the underdog win for a change especially where that cup has been dominated by the big teams.

Fat chance of that Chris - their manager is joining Bayern in the summer  This is their usual game - anyone who even comes close to challenging has their players or management tempted away. Worse, Eintracht were in a Champions League place when Bayern decided to go public with the news - they barely won a match afterwards and finished eighth. So it's all the sweeter that they beat them!

Sounds like Bayern have taken the school of 'Manchester United' to a whole new level and then some.
