Eintracht Frankfurt’s Champions League dream continues. The club, which qualified for the European master class six months ago as the winner of the Europa League, can linger on the sun deck of European club football at least until mid-March. A 2-1 (0-1) win at Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday evening meant that Frankfurt could play in the round of 16 of the 16 best European clubs. “It’s a historic moment and a very special day,” said Frankfurt’s sporting director Markus Krösche after the game. Daichi Kamada with a hand penalty in the 62nd minute and Kolo Muani after a powerful individual action in the 72nd minute turned a 0-1 deficit against Portugal, who had been the clearly better team in the first half.
