😕 Frankfurt's Champions League hopes fading after five games

Eintracht Frankfurt suffered their third resounding Champions League defeat today. After the 1-5 losses against Liverpool and Atlético Madrid, the team from Hesse was clearly the inferior side in today's 0-3 loss against Bergamo.

After five matchdays, Frankfurt currently sits in 28th place with four points. Is this the end of their knockout stage hopes?

Probably. In the remaining two matches, Frankfurt will face Qarabag Agdam as well as Tottenham and FC Barcelona. Especially against the English and Spanish teams, the Hessians go into the game as clear underdogs.

Even if they manage a win against Qarabag, a playoff spot seems unrealistic at the moment. Last season, Bruges needed eleven points for the 24th and final playoff spot. Moreover, even the Azerbaijanis are no pushovers. After five matchdays, Qarabag has already collected seven CL points.

By the way, the fans didn't seem to care about this after the final whistle. After recent great years in European competitions, they celebrated their team heartily despite the renewed defeat. That's how it should be.
