Here a overview of the best/most epic matches of my favorite soccer club, Eintracht Frankfurt - enjoy it
Eintracht Frankfurt 3-7 Real Madrid - 1960
Ok, I wasn´t alive, when this match was played^^. But it´s still counted as one of the best soccer matches ever (after this match, Sir Alex Ferguson decided to have a career as a soccer player). After winning against the favorites of Glasgow Rangers in the semis with 6-1/6-3, Eintracht Frankfurt was the clear outsider in this match. They lost 7-3 against a phenomenal playing team of Real Madrid, but also played real well and shot the first goal in the match. It´s a great honour for us to be still associated with this match.
