Eintracht Frankfurt face Barcelona in the second leg of their Europa League quarter final tie this Thursday. The Frankfurt fans want to be in attendance on what could an historic night for the club. Because of this, it is thought that there could be 30,000 Eintracht fans on the streets of Barcelona for the match.
One more match against Barcelona stands in the way of Frankfurt's dream of making it to the Europa League semi finals. Oliver Glasner's team will travel to Barcelona to face 'Los Azulgranas' in the quarter final second leg on Thursday. The tie is on a knife edge after the two teams drew 1-1 in Germany.
They are not going to be alone. According to 'Marca', the German side will have an army of fans behind them. 30,000 supporters are expected to invade the city.
However, only 5,000 of the fans will be allowed into the Camp Nou as that is the legal away fan allocation for the match. The others will be waiting anxiously in bars in the city hoping to party the night away after they watch their team hypothetically make it to through to the semi-finals. Some of the partying has already reportedly started happening on the outbound flights.
The direct flights from Frankfurt to Barcelona have been sold out for days, as have the inbound ones from Dusseldorf, Múnich and Stuttgart.
