When the European Cup heroes of Eintracht Frankfurt finally reached the Romans after their triumphal ride in black and white convertibles, the sun had already decreased. Almost four hours after landing the "Euro-Adler" and a car corso at a snail's pace, penalty killer Kevin Trapp, captain Sebastian Rode and coach Oliver Glasner grinning with the cup from the Kaisersaal on the balcony.

"This is the thing. He's for you," Rode called into the mic. "How people are happy, how the fans are happy. This is the most beautiful thing about the title," said Glasner on "HR" television. The coach had already announced after the dramatic 5: 4 in a penalty shootout against the Glasgow Rangers in the final of the Europa League with pointed -beef grin: "I'm celebrating through until Saturday and then I go on vacation."

The players around the match winners Rafael Borre and Trapp also followed their trainer. Sevilla's return flight was just as happy and happy as the long party in Andalusia, which ended in the hotel pool. Some professionals covered their little eyes after a short night with sunglasses, the gold medals dangled around their neck.

"We bring the trophy to where it belongs: to our city!" Said President Peter Fischer before the return flight to the main metropolis. With the atmospheric car corso past hundreds of thousands of fans into the heart of the city, it was only slow. The players repeatedly posed for selfies. Only the weather didn't play along: it was raining heavily in the meantime.

Chancellor Scholz congratulates

After the most magical of all European Cup nights, the number of well-wishers was long and prominent. "Congratulations, Eintracht! What a great success," Chancellor Olaf Scholz wrote on Twitter after Eintracht crowned the champion at the 13th edition of the Europa League.

"You dream of that as a child. These are moments for life," enthused wing racer Ansgar Knauff. "It is the best moment of my career," added Trapp: "There is no word to describe it. It's just pure proud."

The keeper only saved Eintracht in the ultimate showdown with its gloss against Ryan Kent (118th) and parried from the crime thriller from the point against Aaron Ramsey.

So Eintracht can even continue its international dream trip in the Champions League next year. "Everything the title brings with it is simply beautiful," emphasized Trapp. Because in the European Supercup, the next pot is already on August 10 against the upcoming winner of the Champions League. Liverpool or Real Madrid? "Fall fruit - no matter who comes," said Rode, who had suffered a gaping laceration on the head, and laughed out loud.

"This harmony has potential," fishermen: but the rich "certainly not to win the Champions League. But that is not the goal".

"Now only party, Frankfurt rules"

Rather, the team will "go with fun" there - just like on the dream trip this season. First the coup in Camp Nou against FC Barcelona, then the sovereign ideas against West Ham United - and now the atmospheric happy end of the football fairy tale in Sevilla.

"The game was a back and forth - on knife at any time," said Rode: "That was pure drama." The optically superior harmony fell behind after a slip from Tuta and ice -cold completion of Joe Aribo (57th) before the big hour hit Borre. The center forward only hit the crucial penalty into the corner thanks to the clever walk to equalize (69.) and then drog.

"After all the criticism, I am pleased that he was the decisive man," said Eintracht Frankfurts director Markus Krösche. As the main cause of the triumph, Glasner made out the narrow mission of the premier class in the previous season. "There are setbacks and then it shows whether you are a big one or not. This team came back," said the second Austrian European Cup winner coach.

And how! "Now only party," said Timothy Chandler, "Frankfurt rules!"
