Oliver Glasner was served after the 2-0 home defeat against Napoli in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League. “It hurts today. We are brutally disappointed, we have to learn from that – and we will learn”, said the Frankfurt coach. At the same time, Riedauer emphasized that all was not lost: “We will not enter the Maradona Stadium as tourists with the white flag.” The most dangerous man in Hessen is missing there on March 15. Striker Randal Kolo Muani came a step too late after just under an hour, unluckily hit his opponent in the ankle and had to leave the field with a red card. For Glasner, the Portuguese referee Artur Dias made an excessive decision.
“Absolute shambles”
The signs are also goodbye for Liverpool FC. The Reds can hardly expect a trend reversal after the 2: 5 home defeat against Real Madrid (after a 2: 0 lead). “With any team that concedes five goals, there are things that need to be questioned”said club legend Steven Gerrard. Long-time teammate Jamie Carragher spoke of one with reference to the defensive “absolute shambles”.
David Alaba retired from the Spanish champions with a thigh injury. The 30-year-old ÖFB team captain warns against arrogance: “The work is not finished yet.”
